Founding priest
Italian parish priest and founder of the Little Sisters of the Holy Family, José Nascimbeni served the community of Castelletto di Brenzone for forty-five years.
Biography
He attended to religious formation, promoted social works and gathered a religious family to collaborate with the needs of the parish. The Holy Family inspired his close way of being a priest; the Eucharist, the rosary and work sustained their activity. He was a true father for his people, capable of uniting contemplation and action without seeking prominence.
