Pope Leo XIV declares 6 new venerables

First source report

Catholic IntelligenceUpdated 1 min read

Pope Leo XIV declared six people venerable during an audience with Cardinal Marcello Semeraro, prefect of the Dicastery for the Causes of Saints, on October 24. The recognition of their heroic virtues allows the Church to honor them as venerable.

The group includes two missionary bishops: Friedrich Kaiser Depel, a member of the Missionaries of the Sacred Heart who served in Peru, and Oreste Marengo, a Salesian who served in India. The others are Margarita Bavosi, a consecrated laywoman of the Focolare Movement; Alessandro Vitetti, a priest from the Diocese of Rossano-Cariati; Domenico Pogliani, a priest from the Archdiocese of Milan; and Brother Daniele of San Giovanni Rotondo, a Capuchin friar.

Bishop Depel, born in Germany, served as the first prelate of Caravelí and founded the Missionary Sisters of Jesus Word and Victim. Bishop Marengo worked in Dibrugarh, Tezpur, and Tura to establish mission centers and assist refugees. Father Pogliani dedicated his ministry to the poor in Cesano Boscone, where he opened schools and care facilities.
