Who they were

A priest of Licata who started a catechetical school for the poor, founded the Ladies of Charity in 1901 and then the Sisters of the Poor of Don Morinello, who still care for the elderly there.

The miracles

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

Why that counted as sanctity

The cause was introduced with the nihil obstat of 26 July 2000.

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.
