Who they were

Ordained for Casale Monferrato and spiritual director of its major seminary, he was bishop of Nicastro from 1961 until his death in 1963 and is remembered for his social commitment and closeness to workers.

The miracles

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

Why that counted as sanctity

After the Dicastery's nihil obstat, Bishop Serafino Parisi of Lamezia Terme promulgated the decree introducing the cause of the Servo di Dio Vittorio Moietta in November 2023 and held the diocesan inquiry from 17 February to 21 September 2024.

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.
