Melchiorre Fordon

Life

Professed priest of the Order of Conventual Friars Minor; he educated and attracted people not only by preaching the truths of the faith, but above all by the example of his humble, sober life, full of renunciation and mortification; he was ready to sacrifice himself to defend or save the life of his neighbor. Priests, confreres, religious sisters, and many of the faithful already considered him a saint during his lifetime.

Translated from the Dicastery for the Causes of Saints.
