Who they were

Giuseppe Atonna, in religion Berardo, was a professed priest of the Order of Friars Minor; he was born at Episcopio di Sarno, Italy, on 1 July 1843 and died in Naples on 4 March 1917. Pope Leo XIV recognised his heroic virtue on 18 December 2025.

The miracles

The Church has not yet approved a miracle in this cause.

Why that counted as sanctity

The Church recognised his heroic virtue in 2025.

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.
