Hermínio Pinzetta
About
Hermínio Pinzetta (27 July 1911 – 31 May 1972) - in religious Salvador from Casca - was a Brazilian Roman Catholic and a professed religious from the Order of Friars Minor Capuchin. He worked for three decades on his parents' farm where he helped them in the fields and aided in managing the livestock though in later life entered the religious life after a long period of discernment. He took up various tasks while in the convent at Flores da Cunha and worked there in roles such as a porter and beekeeper. Pinzetta was known among his colleagues and the people as a man who exhibited strong virtue with meekness and led to the Bishop of Caxias do Sul in 1970 granting him permission to give Communion to people and in 1971 asking him to promote pastoral initiatives for the sick. His death in 1972 prompted calls for him to be beatified; initial steps towards a beatification cause came in the 1980 and the cause later opened three decades later in 2011. He became titled as a Servant of God after the cause was launched. Pinzetta became titled as Venerable in mid-2019 after Pope Francis acknowledged that the late religious friar had practiced heroic virtue throughout his life.
