Who they were

A primary schoolteacher permanently injured in 1944 when a crowd fleeing a bombing trampled her at Savona; she became a Salesian cooperator in 1967 and left an account of mystical experiences.

The miracles

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

Why that counted as sanctity

Her cause opened at Savona-Noli on 10 April 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.

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.
