All about Saint Luigi Scrosoppi
Saint Luigi Scrosoppi (4 August 1804 - 3 April 1884) was an Italian priest of the Roman Catholic Church who founded the Sisters of Providence of Saint Cajetan of Thiene. He was canonized in 2001. St. Luigi Scrosoppi was the last of the three brothers born to Domenico Scrosoppi, a jeweler from Udine, and Antonia Lazzarini. His brother Carlo was ordained to the priesthood when Luigi was six and his other brother Giovanni Battista followed.

As a teenager, he felt a call to the priesthood and studied before he was ordained to the diaconate in 1826. He was ordained to the priesthood on 31 March 1827 and celebrated his first Mass with his brothers. He helped to manage a children's center that his brother Carlo ran and he was an assistant there in 1829. Later he joined the Third Order of Franciscans. As head of the "union of the heart of Jesus Christ," he devoted himself to the construction of an orphanage and supported his brother Carlo, who also was a priest.

He gave himself tirelessly to fundraising and was soon running an organization that accommodated 100 boarders and 230 day pupils in a building which became known as the House of the Destitute. Scrosoppi established the Sisters of Providence of Saint Cajetan of Thiene and it was to receive the official approval of Pope Pius IX on 22 September 1871. Luigi joined the Oratory of Saint Philip Neri in 1846 and was elected as its provost on 9 November 1856. On 7 March 1857, he opened a school and home for deaf- mute girls, only surviving for fifteen years. He died on 3 April 1884 after a long illness.

St. Luigi Scrosoppi and the Sisters of Providence
St. Luigi Scrosoppi was born in Udine, Italy on 4th August 1804. He surrendered all his worldly possessions and pleasures and became a catholic priest to serve God and his fellow brethren. In 1837, he founded the Congregation of the Sisters of Providence. His primary concern was the Education of Children and Youth. St. Luigi loved children and always received them as gift of Providence. His unlimited trust in Divine Providence allowed him to move forward with courage and determination.

His testament, CHARITY, CHARITY, SAVE SOULS, SAVE THEM WITH CHARITY, has become a source of inspiration for thousands of people today. St. Luigi, after his race on Earth, left for his heavenly abode in 1884, but his selfless work did not die with him, it continues to flourish through the Sisters of Providence in different parts of the world. Today the Sisters continue to form the little minds by being mothers, teachers and shepherdess to the children while placing their unlimited trust in the Divine Providence.
