Who they were

The miracles

No miracle has been approved. The cause is at its first stage.

Why that counted as sanctity

The Diocese of Como opened the diocesan inquiry into the cause of the Servant of God Roberto Malgesini on 6 June 2026, presided by Cardinal Oscar Cantoni. Don Roberto was a diocesan priest known for daily service to the poor, migrants and homeless of Como, and was killed in 2020 by one of the men he helped.

The cause

The cause continues. No postulation address is published here yet. Favours received through this person’s intercession, and offers of help, are best sent to the religious order or congregation they belonged to, or to the diocese where the cause was opened; either will pass them to the postulation.

A miracle approved by the Holy See is needed for the next step. If you know the postulation’s own page, tell us and it will be added here.
