Who they were

At Milan, Blessed Andrea Carlo Ferrari, bishop, who valued the religious tradition of his people and opened new ways to make Christ and the charity of the Church known in the world.

The miracles

The Roman Martyrology does not describe the miracles approved in the cause.

Why that counted as sanctity

The Roman Martyrology remembers him on 2 February as a bishop of Milan who opened new ways to make Christ and the Church's charity known.

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.
