Saint Amato Ronconi (1225 – 8 May 1292) was an Italian Roman Catholic who became a professed member of the Secular Franciscan Order due to his desire to follow in the footsteps of Saint Francis of Assisi.[1]

He was beatified in 1776 and was canonized in 2014.[2]

Life

Amato Ronconi was born in 1225 into a household that possessed great wealth but was orphaned during his childhood. It fell upon his older brother Giacomo to care for him. He spent his childhood and adolescence growing up in his brother's home.[1]

Feeling a call to serve God he devoted his life to catering to the needs of the poor and assisting pilgrims. He joined the Secular Franciscan Order and adopted a life of hermitage.[2] He later emerged from his hermitage and constructed various chapels and shelters for pilgrims; some of those places still exist at present. He also made four pilgrimages to Spain at Santiago de Compostela. He underwent such pilgrimages to grow in personal holiness and to visit the tomb of James the Apostle.[1][3]

Ronconi died in 1292. His remains are in the church of San Biagio in his home town of Saledecio after being transferred in mid 1330 after his original resting place was razed due to fire.[3]

Canonization

Pope Pius VI beatified Ronconi on 17 April 1776 while wavering the requirement for two miracles attributed to his intercession. The cause reopened a long while later when the postulation sent the Positio dossier to the Congregation for the Causes of Saints in Rome where the latter had historians discuss and approve the cause on 27 April 2010.

Pope Francis confirmed his life of heroic virtue on 9 October 2013 which would allow for his canonization to take place (should a miracle be approved) while also giving him the title of Venerable. Francis approved the miracle needed for sainthood on 15 April 2014 and canonized Ronconi on 23 November 2014.
