A Missionary for most of the 20th Century Dies
Posted On May 11, 2012
Father Angelo Calvi died today from heart failure. He was 92 years old.
He joined the Xaverian Missionaries in Vicenza, Italy in 1935, made his vows in 1939, and was ordained a priest in 1947.
He worked in the Italian Church from 1947 to 1954 and eventually was sent to Indonesia where he worked in Siberut (54-57), then Sikakap (57 – 63), and finally to Pekambaru (63-65).
In 1965 he returned to Italy and continued to work for the Kingdom in various offices until his recent illness.
We ask for your prayers for this extraordinary man who gave his life for the mission of the church.
May he rest in peace.
