Who they were

At Alcamo in Sicily, Blessed Arcangelo Piacentini of Calatafimi, priest of the Order of Minors, renowned for the austerity of his life and his love of solitude.

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 10 August as a Franciscan priest renowned for austerity and love of solitude.

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.
