St Joseph Cafasso Community

The mission is overseen by the religious community, drawing inspiration from the patronage of St. Joseph Cafasso, a revered Turin saint born in Castelnuovo d'Asti in 1811 and passing in 1860 in Turin. St. Joseph Cafasso played a pivotal role as a mentor to young priests and guided St. John Bosco in his mission to aid impoverished boys in Turin.

Renowned for his compassionate assistance to prisoners and those facing death sentences, St. Joseph Cafasso offered moral support to their families, earning widespread admiration in Turin. His legacy continues to inspire and support the community's young priests, who engage in advanced ecclesiastical studies while serving as chaplains in various parishes, oratories, and religious communities, perpetuating his mission of compassion and service.
