Giovanni da Parma

Who they were

At Parma, Saint John, abbot, who, following the counsels of Saint Majolus of Cluny, laid down in his monastery many precepts to promote the observance of monastic discipline.

The miracles

There was never a formal cause: he has been honoured as a saint since before the Church's formal processes began.

Why that counted as sanctity

The Roman Martyrology remembers him on 22 May as an abbot at Parma who, on the advice of Saint Majolus of Cluny, promoted monastic discipline.
