About St. Luigi Guanella
December 19, 1842 – October 24, 1915 · Feast October 24 · Priest / Founder
Italian priest from the alpine valleys of Lombardy, founder of the Servants of Charity (Guanellians) and the Daughters of St. Mary of Providence. A friend of St. John Bosco, he devoted his life to the most marginalized — orphans, the developmentally disabled, the dying, and the elderly poor — building a network of homes that came to be called 'cottages of providence.' His simple Lombard motto was 'In all things, charity.'
St. Luigi Guanella is the patron saint of The Servants of Charity, Daughters of St. Mary of Providence, The Developmentally Disabled and Abandoned Children.
