Your answer was: John Bosco. |
Answer: Don Luigi Orione gathered a group of priests and clerics that were to become Piccola Opera della Divina Providenza (Little Work of Divine Providence). In 1903 the group received the full authorization of the bishop as a religious congregation called the Sons of Divine Providence. At the end of World War I, Orione founded schools, farming colonies, and charity organizations and nursing homes—always with a special emphasis on helping orphans and the poor. Over the next two decades, he started foundations throughout Italy and the Americas. In 1931, he founded the Shrine of the Madonna della Guardia in Tortona, which to this day is the principal church in the world for the Orionine order. Today the charitable organizations begun by Orione are still operating in abundance throughout the world.
