Rossella Petrellese
Young Neapolitan laywoman who died at twenty-two after long illness
Who they were
Ill from birth, she came through a depressive crisis after the 1992 diocesan conference at Acerra and became a source of encouragement to others before dying in Rochester, Minnesota, at twenty-two.
The miracles
No miracle has been approved. The cause is at its first stage.
Why that counted as sanctity
Her cause opened in the diocese of Acerra on 21 March 2009.
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.
