The Cottolengo Family

Well-known member
St Joseph Benedict Cottolengo’s memorial was this week, as well. He founded the Little House of Divine Providence in Italy, and was a contemporary of St John Bosco.

St Cottolengo founded 14 congregations. After Vatican II, they merged.

The Carmel that Cottolengo founded, which has more information on the website regarding the two branches, is here:

He’s not the record holder for number of new foundations, though. That goes to Bl Honorat Koźmiński, with about twice as many.

Blessings,
Cloisters
