As a young man, Luigi, joined the Franciscans in Italy but became very ill and had to return home. Luigi was cured of his health problems at St. John Bosco's funeral and was ordained as a priest in 1895. During his life, he founded several institutions for the poor, homeless, and abandoned, including the Sons of Divine Providence, the Hermits of Divine Providence, and the Ladies of Divine Providence. He passed away in 1940 surrounded by priests of his order, the Orinoes.
