Biography

Blessed Giuseppe Giaccardo, also known as Father Timoteo, was born on 13 June 1896 in Narzole, Cuneo, Italy, as Giuseppe Domenico Vincenzo Giaccardo. He was the oldest of five children born to farm workers Stefano and Maria Cagna. From a young age, Giuseppe felt a call to the priesthood, and his mother's devotion to Our Lady of the Rosary greatly influenced his spiritual journey.
