Holy See Authorizes Causes
of Louis Bolla and Rosetta Marchese
(ANS - Vatican City – January 20) –
On December 16, 2020, the Congregation for the Causes of Saints communicated to
Archbishop Carlo Castillo Mattasoglio of Lima the Holy See’s authorization to
open the cause for beatification and canonization of the Servant of God Fr.
Louis Bolla (1932-2013), SDB, missionary among the Shuar and Achuar
of Ecuador and Peru. Similarly, dated January 13, 2021, authorization was
granted to open the cause of the Servant of God Mother Rosetta Marchese (1922-1984),
FMA, former superior general. The communication came from Cardinal Angelo De
Donatis, vicar general of Pope Francis for the diocese of Rome.
Fr. Bolla and Mother Marchese are part of
the charism born with Don Bosco and are witnesses of that hope which is a plant
with deep roots, which start from afar; roots that grow stronger through
difficult seasons and paths that require a lot of sacrifice.
For the whole Salesian Family they are a strong stimulus never to lose hope, but rather to cultivate a hopeful gaze toward life and never to extinguish hope in one’s own heart. They are lights that invite us to bring the joy of the Gospel to every corner of the earth, with Don Bosco’s own apostolic passion.
