Why that counted as sanctity
Known in religion as Germano di San Stanislao, Ruoppolo was a Passionist priest, professor and postulator who directed Saint Gemma Galgani and wrote her life. His informative process ran from 1957 to 1959 and its validity was decreed on 7 March 1986; the decree on his heroic virtues was promulgated on 11 July 1995.
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.
