Who they were

A Capuchin remembered across Maldonado for his preaching and charity, he died there in 1994.

The miracles

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

Why that counted as sanctity

The archdiocese of Montevideo reported that the bishop of Maldonado, Milton Tróccoli, asked the Congregation for the Causes of Saints to introduce his cause; the diocesan inquiry opened on 8 January 2019.

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.
