Biography
Italian priest of the Little House of Divine Providence, Francisco Paleari sanctified a life without spectacular events through gentleness, study and constant service. He was a teacher, confessor, preacher, spiritual director and close collaborator of the archdiocese of Turin. From Eucharistic adoration arose his attention to the sick, poor and people with disabilities welcomed in the work of Cottolengo. His simple manner helped many to discover that holiness can grow in ordinary responsibilities.
