IGNATIUS OF LACONI, Blessed. - Lay Capuchin brother of the province of Sardinia, b. at Láconi (Nuoro) on 17 (or 10?) Dec. 1701. During a serious illness he made a vow to become a religious and received the novice's habit on 10 Nov. 1721 in the convent of St. Benedict (Cagliari). D. at Cagliari on 11 May 1781.

First assigned to duties in the convents of Buoncammino, at Cagliari, and of Iglesias, from 1741 until his death he exercised the office of questor of the aforementioned convent of Cagliari, perfecting himself in the traditional virtues of the holy Capuchin questors: prayer, penance, charity toward all those in need in body and in spirit. The supernatural gifts with which he was favored made him loved and venerated by every class of persons. He was beatified by Pius XII on 16 June 1940. The processes of canonization are in progress.
