Emilia Bicchieri
Italian nun
Feast: 3 May (not on the universal Roman calendar; kept in the Roman Martyrology or local calendars)
Who they were
At Vercelli, Blessed Emilia Bicchieri, virgin of the Order of Saint Dominic, who, although appointed prioress several times, joyfully performed the humblest domestic services among her sisters.
The miracles
The Roman Martyrology does not describe the miracles approved in the cause.
Why that counted as sanctity
The Roman Martyrology remembers her on 3 May as a Dominican nun who, though several times prioress, gladly did the humblest household tasks.
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.
