Venerable Luigi Caburlotto (7 June 1817 - 6 July 1897) was an Italian priest and was the founder of the Daughters of Saint Joseph. Caburlotto was cleared for beatification in 2014 after a miracle was found to have been attributed to his intercession and he is scheduled to be beatified on 16 May 2015 in Venice by Cardinal Angelo Amato on behalf of Pope Francis.
Biography
Caburlotto was born in Venice in 1817 as the son of a Venetian gondolier. Caburlotto entered the seminary in Venice and was ordained to the priesthood on 24 September 1842. Caburlotto worked with young people who were either abandoned or homeless. On 30 April 1850, he established a school for poor and abandoned girls. Thus, the Daughters of Saint Joseph was founded.
His work continued in 1857 when he founded a home for poor girls and in 1859, a complex for the poor. He also established a free college and in 1869, was assigned to re-vitalize the Manin Institute which served as a trade school for men. By 1881, he had taken over poor schools and revived them with staff and resources.
But by this time, his health began to fail and he was confined to his home parish where he conducted retreats for the clergy and the laity. Caburlotto spent his final years away from his institutions and he lived a quiet and private life. He continued to keep track of all his institutions, for they were very close to him, but he could not go to visit them due to his failing health.
Luigi Caburlotto died in 1897, and his remains were moved on 1 March 2009 to the parish of Saint Sebastian.[1]
Beatification
The cause of beatification for Caburlotto commenced at a diocesan level on 14 September 1963 which finalized its work on 28 June 1969. Pope John Paul II recognized his heroic virtues and named him Venerable on 2 July 1994. Pope Francis recognized a miracle attributed to him on 9 May 2014 and his beatification will be celebrated on 16 May 2015 in Venice.
