Italian founder of the Dominican Sisters of the Little House of Divine Providence
Who they were
The Holy See gives her birth as probably 8 December 1822 at Nè, near Chiavari.
The miracles
No miracle has been approved. The decree on his or her heroic virtues has been promulgated; a miracle would come next.
Why that counted as sanctity
The diocesan inquiry was opened in the Archdiocese of Genoa on 18 April 2000, and on 18 December 2025 the Pope authorised the decree on the heroic virtues of the Servant of God Domenica Caterina dello Spirito Santo (Teresa Solari), founder of the Dominican Sisters of the Little House of Divine Providence, making her Venerable.
The cause
Teresa Solari (Domenica Caterina of the Holy Spirit) has been declared Venerable; the cause continues. Favours received, and offers of help, go to the postulation, the office that carries the cause forward: The cause of Teresa Solari (Domenica Caterina of the Holy Spirit).
