Pope Leo XIV authorizes decrees on heroic virtues of six new Venerables

Catholic IntelligenceUpdated 1 min read

Pope Leo XIV authorized the Dicastery for the Causes of Saints to promulgate decrees recognizing the heroic virtues of six people, granting them the title of Venerable. The decision was announced following an audience with Cardinal Marcello Semeraro, the prefect of the dicastery.

The new Venerables include missionary bishops Oreste Marengo, a Salesian and former apostolic administrator of Tura, India, and Friedrich Kaiser Depel, the first prelate of the territorial prelature of Caravelí and founder of the Missionary Sisters of Jesus, Word and Victim.

The group also includes Domenico Pogliani, a diocesan priest and founder of the Holy Family Institute; Alessandro Vitetti, a diocesan priest from the Diocese of Rossano-Cariati; Daniele di San Giovanni Rotondo, a Capuchin friar; and Margarita Bavosi, a consecrated laywoman from the Focolare Movement.
