Who they were

A Scalabrinian from 1946, he worked with migrants in Switzerland, Germany and Italy before being sent in 1974 to northern Argentina, where he worked among Bolivian seasonal labourers and preached retreats to priests and bishops; he died of a heart attack at Alto Calilegua in Jujuy. Santiebeati gives his death as 3 October 1983, where the Hagiography Circle has 6 October.

The miracles

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

Why that counted as sanctity

His cause opened in 2008 with the nihil obstat of 27 November and the diocesan inquiry ran from 31 March 2009 to 31 October 2018.

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.
