Who they were

At Florence, Blessed Giovanna, virgin of the Third Order of the Servants of Mary, outstanding for prayer and austerity of life.

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 1 September as a Servite tertiary at Florence, outstanding for prayer and austerity of life.

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.
