Who they were

At Naples, Blessed Paolo Burali, of the Order of Theatine Clerks Regular, bishop first of Piacenza and then of Naples, who worked to renew the discipline of the Church and to strengthen in the faith the flock entrusted to him.

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 17 June as a Theatine bishop of Piacenza and then Naples who worked to renew Church discipline.

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.
