Silvio Galli
Italian Salesian priest of Chiari, confessor and exorcist
Who they were
He spent over fifty years at San Bernardino in Chiari as teacher, headmaster, confessor and exorcist, and guided the Auxilium relief work for the poor.
The miracles
No miracle has been approved. The cause is at its first stage.
Why that counted as sanctity
The Holy See gave the nihil obstat in February 2020 and the Diocese of Brescia opened the diocesan inquiry on 12 June 2020; it closed at the Salesian institute San Bernardino in Chiari on 12 June 2022 and its validity was recognised in October 2022.
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.
