Blessed Carlo Gnocchi

Blessed Carlo Gnocchi, a Catholic priest and humanitarian, was born on October 25, 1902, in San Colombano al Lambro, Italy. He was the youngest of three boys born to Henry and Clementine Gnocchi. Unfortunately, his father passed away when Carlo was just five years old. Tragedy struck again when his two older brothers succumbed to tuberculosis before Carlo reached the age of thirteen.
