Today is the feast of St. Joseph Benedict Cottolengo, a diocesan priest and Secular Franciscan who founded the Little House of Divine Providence. The “little” house is now a city unto itself, and has a regular population of about 7,000. St. Cottolengo also founded fourteen religious communities – both apostolic and contemplative – to serve the “city”. The sisters, however, seem to have consolidated into apostolic and contemplative branches.
