Autorenporträt

St. Joseph Cafasso, born in 1811 at Piedmont, Italy, was a confessor, priest, and social reformer. While his city was being industrialized, Joseph took it upon himself to serve the dispossessed, marginalized, and criminals of Turin. He also comforted those who received the death sentence and became known as the Priest of the Gallows. The author of Priest: Man of God, he is also venerated as the patron saint of prison chaplains and prisoners. St. Cafasso died on the twenty-third of June, 1860, and was canonized in 1947.
