Who they were

At Mortara, in Insubria, Blessed Elizabeth, Virgin, whose holiness was of the highest.

The miracles

The source does not describe the miracles approved in the cause.

Why that counted as sanctity

The Franciscan Martyrology (1723) remembers her on 22 May.

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.
