A Priest for the Least – Blessed Don Luigi Maria Palazzolo
A Priest for the Least - Blessed Don Luigi Maria Palazzolo
What does it mean to devote one’s life entirely to others?

In nineteenth-century Italy, Blessed Don Luigi Maria Palazzolo answered this question by dedicating himself to children living in desperate conditions. He built places of community and experimented with new and alternative approaches to education, far ahead of his time. He was also the first to involve a woman teacher, Teresa Gabrieli, in the education of girls — a bold and pioneering act that challenged both social norms and religious conventions.

This documentary sheds light on the life of a priest who, in the name of faith, placed human dignity and progress above prejudice, leaving behind a legacy of courage and vision that still resonates today.
