The miracles

No miracle approved yet

The Church has declared this person’s heroic virtue, which is what the title Venerable means. One approved miracle is needed before beatification.

Why that counted as sanctity

Limited information is available on this saint so far.

The cause

Antonietta Meo has been declared Venerable; the cause continues. Favours received, and offers of help, go to the postulation, the office that carries the cause forward: Catholic Action saints foundation: Venerable Antonietta Meo.

A miracle approved by the Holy See is needed for the next step. Reporting one begins with the postulation.
