St Callistus Caravario and St Louis Versiglia
Date: 25th February 2022
Today we celebrate the feast of 2 Salesian Saints - St Callistus Caravario and St Louis Versiglia.
St Louis Versiglia, led 6 missionaries to China to start the Mission of the Salesians there. One of those missionaries was St Callistus Caravario.
They were both killed protecting some young boys and girls, while the bishop, Fr Versiglia, was on a Pastoral visit to the Linchow Mission with Fr Caravario.

Holy Father, you gave to Blessed Aloysius and Callistus
the grace to follow your Son along the way of the cross;
hear the prayers we make to you,
so that animated by your Spirit of holiness
we may work effectively for the building of your Kingdom.
Grant this through Christ our Lord.
