The Vatican record

21 December 2016 — Heroic virtue declared — title Venerable (decree list, 2016)

Who they were

Regular priest; born in Province of Viterbo; died in Province of Rome.

The miracles

No miracle approved yet

The Church has declared this person’s heroic virtue, which is what the title Venerable means. One approved miracle is needed before beatification.

Why that counted as sanctity

Limited information is available on this saint so far.

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.
