Who they were

At Fossombrone in the Marche, Blessed Benedetto da Urbino, priest of the Order of Friars Minor Capuchin, who was a companion of Saint Lawrence of Brindisi in preaching among the Hussites and Lutherans.

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 30 April as a Capuchin priest who preached with Saint Lawrence of Brindisi among the Hussites and Lutherans.

The cause

Benedetto da Urbino has been beatified; the cause continues. Favours received, and offers of help, go to the postulation, the office that carries the cause forward: Capuchins of Italy: Blessed Benedetto da Urbino.

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