Who they were

Ordained in 1882 and a Passionist from 1884, he held various offices in the order and died at Pontecorvo.

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

His cause was introduced in Rome on 11 September 1980 and his heroic virtues were recognised on 6 July 1993, giving him the title Venerable.

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.
