US EditionPope Leo to Meet with Cardinals to Consider Declaring Eight New Saints
- On June 13, Pope Leo XIV will hold an ordinary public consistory in Rome to seek the approval of cardinals for the canonization of Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati along with seven other individuals.
- This ordinary public consistory follows Pope Francis's promotion of the eight causes and stems from earlier plans to finalize sainthood declarations.
- Candidates include Frassati, a Third Order Dominican from Turin known for charity and piety who died at 24; Ignatius Maloyan, a martyred Armenian Catholic archbishop; and Venezuela's future first female saint, Maria Troncatti.
- Pope Francis set August 3 for Frassati's canonization, while the consistory will vote on other dates and possibly reschedule postponed canonizations such as Carlo Acutis's.
- The consistory's decisions will advance final sainthood steps and suggest forthcoming formal declarations impacting diverse Catholic communities worldwide.
