Who they were

At Naples, Blessed Giovanni (Francesco) Marinoni, priest of the Order of Clerics Regular called Theatines, who together with Saint Cajetan devoted himself to the reform of the clergy and the salvation of souls and promoted the Monte di Pietà to help the needy.

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 13 December as a Theatine priest who worked with Saint Cajetan for the reform of the clergy.

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.
