The miracles

Why that counted as sanctity
Bishop Marco Busca of Mantua announced the Dicastery's clearance and, by an edict of 7 July 2025, opened the diocesan inquiry into the life, heroic virtues and reputation for holiness of the Servant of God Vittorina Gementi.
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.
