Who they were

He was rector of the shrine on the Via Ardeatina and founded both the male and female congregations attached to it.

The miracles

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

Why that counted as sanctity

The Shrine of Our Lady of Divine Love in Rome calls its founder a Servant of God and marked the fiftieth anniversary of his death on 3 January 2024 with a Mass led by Cardinal Matteo Zuppi; the Oblate Sons of Our Lady of Divine Love publish a prayer for graces through his intercession. His diocesan inquiry was opened in Rome on 23 January 2004 and closed on 18 January 2008.

The cause

Umberto Terenzi is named a Servant of God; the cause continues. Favours received, and offers of help, go to the postulation, the office that carries the cause forward: The cause of Umberto Terenzi.

A miracle approved by the Holy See is needed for the next step. Reporting one begins with the postulation.
