Postulator for the Causes of Saints


Rome, Italy, 5 February 2016 - As you can see on the 2014 Salesian Sanctity Poster, the number of our Salesian 'Saints' is steadily growing. There are 9 Saints, 117 Blessed (majority martyrs), 12 Venerables and 28+ Servants of God - members of Salesian Family or related to the charismatic family of Don Bosco in some way. Hence the total number is 166 Salesian Saints, Blessed, Venerables and Servants of God. Probably very few of us know all of them name by name, story by story.


Salesian Postulator for the Causes of Saints, Fr. Pier Luigi Cameroni shares in his annual report some advancement for the following causes of beatification and canonization:

  • Servant of God, Bishop Octavio Ortiz Arrieta (first Peruvian SDB priest),
  • Servant of God, Bishop Stefano Ferrando (missionary and founder of Missionary Sisters of MHC, India),
  • Servant of God, Fr. Titus Zeman (Slovakia, martyr),
  • Servant of God, Francesco Convertini (missionary in Bengal region, India).

Next April 6-10, 2016 will be held in Rome-Salesianum a special Seminar for the promotion of Causes of Beatification and Canonization within the Salesian Family. Already more then 100 participants from many SF groups are booked for this event, also five of them coming from EAO region (Japan, Thailand, Philippines, China and Vietnam).
