Saint Guido Conforti: The Bishop Who Loved the Whole World
St. Guido Conforti, who will be proclaimed a new missionary saint of the Catholic Church on October 23, 2011, provides a legacy of a passion for Christ and a passion for all of humanity. He founded the Xaverian Missionaries who work in 19 countries world wide with almost 120 years of global mission experience.
