Fr. Salicone Speaks on Mission in St. Louis

Fr. Salicone shared the work of global mission with leaders in the Archdiocese of Chicago. Here is a heads up from their website.

Fr. Aniello Salicone of the Xaverian Missionaries spoke at the July Moderators meeting. Fr. Aniello was born in Italy in 1940, and in 1961 he left the Pontifical Seminary of Salerno (in Italy) to join the Xaverian Missionaries in Parma. He was ordained a priest in 1966. After 8 years of ministry in Italy, he left for London to learn English. The year after, he went to Sierra Leone, West Africa to teach and minister in the diocese of Makeni. In 1980, Fr. Aniello went to Chicago for post graduate studies at the Catholic Theological Union (CTU), where he earned his Master of Art in Theology. He went back to West Africa, and was sent to Liberia at St. Paul Major Seminary.

Fr. Aniello taught Pastoral Theology and ran the Seminary for seven years. He went to the Xaverian House in Holliston, Massachusetts in 1994. He began his healing ministry in 1995 and went to Chicago in 2001 to help Fr. Michael Davitti, an Xaverian Missionary who runs the St. Therese Chinese Catholic Mission.

“Thank you” to Fr. Aniello for sharing with the Daily World!
