Who they were

At Cortona in Tuscany, Blessed Pietro Capucci, priest of the Order of Preachers, who, meditating on death, guided himself to heavenly realities and in his preaching exhorted the faithful not to fall into eternal death.

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 21 October as a Dominican priest of Cortona who preached against falling into eternal death.

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.
