Both he and his older brother Annibale were first entrusted to an old aunt before being sent to the College of the Cistercian Fathers in Messina under the care of their paternal priest uncle Raffaele di Francia. It was he who oversaw his and his older brother Annibale's education due to his mother being unable to provide for all her children on her own. His brother was noted for being more like his father while he was noted for being

"This is the house of Fr. Di Francia. Have a seat and you'll get something to eat." People regarded him as a Saint even when he was still alive. Mons. Angelo Paino, Bishop of Messina, later gave this testimony about him: "He was considered a Saint by all people. By this I mean people from all walks of life, social status and religious convictions". On June 1, 1927, Saint Hannibal died in Messina. As soon as the people heard the news

built in Messina. It is the only church in the world dedicated to the Gospel's passage: "Pray therefore the Lord of the Harvest". Many of his contemporaries, and among them St. Luigi Orione, requested that a formal Cause for Canonization be promptly started. But World War II put a temporary stop to the undertaking. On April 21, 1945, the information stage of the process for Canonization began with the "Diocesan Investigations". All the writings of "Saint Hannibal" (62 volumes) were examined
17599948

by a Special Committee of Theologians. In 1979 the Congress of Cardinals voted to begin the formal Cause for Canonization which officially began in Messina on March 8, 1980 at the same time the Eccliastical Tribunal set up a Committee of Historians. On December 21, 1989 pope John Paul II promulgated the Decree on the "Heroic Virtues of the Servant of God". To proceed with the Cause of Canonization, a sign of God, a miracle was needed.

She was a mystic and author. For some time her confessor was St. Annibale Maria di Francia. Her spirituality centered on union with the Will of God. Piccarreta was born in Corato in the Province of Bari, Italy on 23 April 1865, the daughter of Vito Nicola and Rosa Tarantino Piccarreta. She received only a first grade

Both the Commission of Theologians on July 14, 1990 and then the Congress of Cardinals and Bishops on July 27, 1990 unanimously agreed upon the miraculous recovery of the girl and found that it was to be attributed to the intercession of the Servant of God, Hannibal Di Francia.

At the age of seven he enrolled in the College of St. Nicholas, run by the Cistercian Fathers. He was a devout child. Here under the guidance of his spiritual director, he was introduced to a devout life and he developed such love for the Eucharist that he was allowed to receive Holy Communion daily, something exceptional in those days. Young Annibale proved

He was transferred to the larger parish of Santa Maria de la Candelaria in Reggio Calabria on 2 February 1921.

Francesco Maria di Francia


Francesco Maria di Francia (19 February 1853 - 22 December 1913) was an Italian Roman Catholic priest and the founder of the Capuchin Sisters of the Sacred Heart. He formed a close bond with his older brother (canonized in 2004) and the two studied together under a priest uncle. He tried music after experiencing doubts about his vocation but continued his studies leading to his ordination in Messina where he would spend his entire life ministering to people. He aided the ill during a cholera epidemic while in 1908 aiding in rescue and

the care for the poor". Together with the intuition of the ""Rogate"", this spirit of charity would be the characteristic of his life. With the blessing of his Archbishop and the encouragement Don Bosco he began an evening school for boys, a day kindergarten for girls from five to eight years old. Then, the girl's orphanage got under way and, on November 4, 1883, the boys' orphanage. He placed them under the patronage of St. Anthony of Padua. Later on all his

A first attempt was made by Blessed Giacomo Cusmano in Italy with the foundation of the congregations of the Missionary Servants of the Poor and of the Sister Servants of the Poor, its female equivalent. It was assisted by Mélanie herself and exists today. A second attempt was made by Blessed Annibale Maria di Francia R.C.J. in Italy also, with the foundation of the congregations of the Rogationists of the Heart of Jesus and with its female counterpart the Daughters of Divine Zeal. This attempt was also assisted by Mélanie during her

with Bishop Perraud, the ordinary of Autun over an inheritance given to support this foundation. In 1892, Mélanie Calvat returned to Lecce, Italy, then journeyed to Messina in Sicily at the invitation of Saint Annibale Maria di Francia. Following a few months in the Piedmont region, she was invited by the abbé Gilbert Combe, pastor of Diou, a priest much taken up with prophecies, to settle in the Allier region. She there finished her autobiography. In 1894 Combe published his version of Melanie's prohibited secret under the

He looked to a brilliant and secure career as a writer and poet but chose the religious life. He was only seventeen, when as he was at prayer in front of the Blessed Sacrament, he was given the ""revelation of Rogate"", that is, he deeply felt that vocations in the Church only come through prayer. Later on he

. Once his theological studies were completed he was ordained a priest on March 16, 1878. A few months before his ordination, when he was still deacon, he met a poor blind beggar, Francesco Zancone, who "providentially" led him to discover a world unknown to him: ""Le Case Avignone"" (The Avignone squatters), in the outskirts of Messina. It was to be his new field of apostolate. He defined this as the "spirit of a twofold charity: the evangelization of and

Annibale Maria di Francia


charitable institutions for poor children will be called "Anthonian Orphanages". He was concerned that in his institutions the children were provided not only with food and prepared for a job, but more importantly that they would receive a solid moral and religious education. After their elementary-grade instruction, the girls were involved in sewing, knitting, and home economics in general. He used to say: "We should love children with tender and fatherly love. This is the secret of secrets to gain them to God". Thirteen

sisters were killed in the earthquake of 1908. Although the boys dormitory collapsed none of the orphans there or at the girls residence lost their lives. Additional orphanages were opened: including one in Bari for orphans of the 1910 cholera epidemic, and one in Altamura for orphans of the First World War. The monthly periodical entitled "God and Neighbor" was first published in 1908. Having a modest format and a circulation that rose to more than half a million, it spread throughout the five continents. "God and Neighbor,

" the organ of all the Anthonian orphanages lasted until 1942. With the help of those who were his most reliable collaboratores - Fr. Pantaleone Palma and Fr. Francis Vitale - he was able to lay the groundwork of his male congregation, which he named after the Rogate: The Rogationist Fathers of the Heart of Jesus. He perceived that the ""Rogate"" was the answer to his query. "What are these few orphans we attend to, these few people we bring the good news to, compared to

the zeal burning in the Sacred Heart of Jesus for the glory of the Father and the salvation of souls. The Institute was given a one-year trial. During that year, he had as a cooperator for his work none other than Melanie Calvat, the famous young shepherdess to whom the Mother of God appeared on the mountain of La-Salette. Melanie remained at the Institute for one year, from September 1897 to September 1898 - a year which, in the words of Saint Hannibal, was a year of blessing

. The trial period was weathered successfully, having a healthy and vigorous effect on the community, and the women's congregation was put on a safe footing. He was noted for propagating the devotion of the "Servitude of Love" taught by Louis de Montfort and he embodied the spirit of complete abandonment into the hands of Mary. His charity knew no bounds, and it was directed toward all those in need, including priests facing difficulties and cloistered nuns who often are forgotten by benefactors. In Messina they used to say:

""Rogate"". The message and the mission of Saint Hannibal is not only valued among those involved in vocation ministry and those who have at heart the formation of the clergy but also by all those who have come to understand the need of prayer for more vocations in the Church. The need for such a prayer has been recently recognized by the Supreme Authority of the Church. Pope Paul VI on January 23, 1964 instituted the "World Day of Prayer for Vocations". Since then, every year, the

When, on December 8, 1869 he was given the clerical garb, he soon began putting his talents to work and became a well received preacher.

Having been completed in 1948 it was given to the Rogationists fathers, before being concercrated on 27 May 1965 by Cardinal Luigi Traglia. On 5 March 1973 Pope Paul VI granted it a titular church as a seat for Cardinals. The

found in the Gospel the very words of Jesus commanding such prayer: ""Beg the harvest master to send out laborers to gather his harvest". (Mt 9:38; Lk 10:2)". These words became the main source of inspiration for his life and the charism which led his apostolate. On July 11, 1909 he wrote to Pope S. Pius X: "From my youth I have devoted myself to the words of the Gospel: Pray therefore the Lord of the Harvest...In my charitable institutions, orphans,

A few days before the Blessed Virgin Mary had appeared to him and assured him of Her protection, a vision to reward his tender devotion toward him. Newspapers of the entire region reported with pictures and articles of the funeral and burial. Crowds of thousands came to mourn his passing away.
