Pope clears two Italian Religious for sainthood

April 16,2014: Pope Francis on Tuesday cleared miracles attributed to two Italians, qualifying them for sainthood, and also recognized the heroic virtues of a French-born archbishop and an Austrian priest. One of the miracles is attributed to the intercession of Italian Capuchin priest Fr. Ludovico of Casoria (born Archangelo Palmentieri), the founder of the Congregation of the Franciscan Sisters of St Elizabeth,or the “Gray Sisters. Blessed Ludovico was born in Casoria, Italy on March 11, 1814 and died in Naples, Italy, March 30, 1885. The other miracle is attributed to the intercession of Blessed Amato Ronconi, of the Third Order of St. Francis, the founder of the Poor Pilgrims Hospice of the city of Saludecio, now called the Blessed Amato Ronconi Rest Home/Charitable Work. Blessed Ronconi was born in Saludecio, around the year 1226 and died in Rimini, Italy around 1292.
In the Catholic Church, a miracle is required to clear the way for a candidate for beatification. Another miracle is required for canonization or sainthood. The beatification date for Blesseds Ludovico and Ronconi will be decided later.
The two others whose heroic virtues have been recognized by Pope Francis are Servants of God Maria Alano de Guynot Boismenu and William Janauschek. Archbishop Boismenu of the Congregation of the Missionaries of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, was the former Apostolic Vicar of Papua. He was born in Saint –Malo, France, December 27, 1870 and died in Kubuna, in the Fiji Islands, on November 5, 1953.
