Granzotto became titled as a Servant of God under John Paul I on 22 September 1978 with the formal commencement of the cause; Bishop Antonio Cunial oversaw the apostolic process that was held from 20 April 1980 until 8 December 1981 at which point the Congregation for the Causes of Saints validated both diocesan processes on 7 January 1983 in Rome.
