The Vatican record

8 July 2016 — Heroic virtue declared — title Venerable (decree list, 2016)

Who they were

Giuseppe Marchetti was a professed priest of the Congregation of the Missionaries of St Charles (Scalabrinians); he was born on 3 October 1869 and died on 14 December 1896. Pope Francis recognised his heroic virtue on 8 July 2016.

The miracles

The Church has not yet approved a miracle in this cause.

Why that counted as sanctity

The Church recognised his heroic virtue in 2016.

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.
