Arsenio da Trigolo
Arsenio da Trigolo, OFM Cap. (13 June 1849 – 10 December 1909), was an Italian Catholic priest and a professed member from the Order of Friars Minor Capuchin.
He had been a Jesuit for a period of time before he was forced to withdraw from the order due to a series of complications. Migliavacca founded the Suore di Maria Santissima Consolatrice in 1892 alongside a small group of women who desired to become nuns, but slanderous accusations made against him forced him to abandon it and pursue the Franciscan charism instead; he dealt with these humiliations in private, but as a Capuchin became a preacher and confessor and aided the Third Order of Saint Francis in Bergamo.
The cause for beatification for the late friar began under Pope John Paul II on 13 November 1997 while the confirmation of his model life of heroic virtue allowed for Pope Francis in 2016 to name him as Venerable. The same pope approved a miracle attributed to his intercession and thus confirmed his beatification which took place on 7 October 2017 in the Milan Cathedral.
