Vincenza Damato (Maria Chiara of Saint Teresa of the Child Jesus)
Poor Clare of Albano who nursed her sisters after the bombing of her monastery
Who they were
A Poor Clare of Castel Gandolfo and Albano; when her monastery was bombed in the Second World War and eighteen nuns died, she cared for the survivors although injured herself.
The miracles
No miracle has been approved. The decree on heroic virtues has been promulgated; a miracle would come next.
Why that counted as sanctity
Her cause opened on 29 November 1983 and she was declared Venerable in 2011.
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.
