The archbishop of Cagliari, Monsignor Giuseppe Baturi, has appointed the postulator who will oversee the process of the cause of beatification of Fr. Giovanni Puggioni. Fr. Guglielmo Pireddu, Superior of the Community of Cagliari and professor of Church history, describes this Jesuit’s holiness as “an authentic witness of the mercy and goodness of Christ”. 

 

“Fr. Puggioni (1922-2009) travelled for over fifty years through the whole length and breadth of the entire island to carry out the missions he was assigned, as a vocation promoter, as Head of the LMS and then of Operation Africa, but above all as an apostle of the Sacred Heart, creating dozens of prayer groups, giving rise to a wave of religious vocations, primarily female” Fr. Pireddu explains. But, that’s not all, “His apostolic versatility and undoubtedly” charismatic “personality made him an authentic witness of the mercy and goodness of Christ, which for him was not just an abstract theological concept, but a reality that he experienced personally. And since we are talking about tens of thousands of people who have experienced the intimacy of God, thanks to this Jesuit, it does not surprise me that Bishop Baturi has agreed to explore the possibilities of a diocesan inquiry”.
