THE VENERABLE SERVANT OF GOD 

FRA SANTO OF SAINT DOMINIC

​

"Enamoured of the Eucharist"

​

Religious Brother of the Order of the Discalced Augustinians

5 august 1655 - 16 january 1728

Fra Santo was born in Trapani (Sicily) on August 5, 1655. He was very humble and eschewed any sign of appreciation given to him for his fame of sanctity. He goes to the street with an inimitable modesty. With the help of the benefactors, he started to construct the Church and Convent of the OAD in the Sicilian City of Trapani. He was most devoted to the Blessed Sacrament before which spent whole night in prayer. He was highly esteemed by bishops, city governors and the nobles. He died, full of merits, at the age of 72 at the Convent of the OAD in Trapani on January 16, 1728. Saint John Paul II emanated the Decree of the Heroicity of his Virtues on May 13, 1989. We only now wait that the Lord, through Fra Santo's intercession, will perform a miracle for him to be be declared a Blessed.
