Who they were

At Polizzi in Sicily, Blessed Gandolfo Sacchi of Binasco, priest of the Order of Minors, who led an austere life of solitude and travelled the neighbouring regions to preach the word of God.

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 3 April as a Franciscan priest who lived in austere solitude and preached the word of God in the surrounding regions.

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.
