ST. GIUSEPPE CAFASSO
(Italy, 1811-1860),
Priest
One of the extraordinary 'social saints' of 19th-century Turin, Joseph was a teacher of John Bosco at the seminary
and encouraged him to establish the Salesian Order. Known from his youth for his humility and prayerfulness, he was
particular vigilant against the prevalent Jansenism in his day and its obsession with sin and damnation. He urged
his students to read Francis de Sales and Alphonsus Liguori to temper Jansenist rigorism. An excellent preacher,
he encouraged daily Communion and devotion to the Blessed Sacrament. He also distinguished himself as a confessor
for condemned prisoners, for which he has been called 'the priest of the gallows'. He died from severe pneumonia.
He was canonized in 1947.
