Biography

Blessed Domenico Lentini, born on 20 November 1770 in Lauria, Potenza, Italy, was the youngest of five children in a poor yet devoutly Catholic family. From a young age, Domenico felt a strong calling to the priesthood, which led him to pursue his studies at the seminary in Salerno, Italy. After completing his studies, he was ordained in the diocese of Tursi-Lagonegro, Italy, in 1794.
