Giuseppe Guarino was an Italian cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church. Guarino was also the founder of the Apostles of the Holy Family.
His cause of canonization is already underway, and he has now been recognized as a Servant of God.
Biography
Guarino was born in 1827 to Michele Guarino and Angela Papia. He was the second of five children, including Paolino, Achille, Pietro and Vicenza. He was baptized on the day of his birth by his paternal uncle, Father Pietro Guarino.[1] He was ordained to the priesthood in 1849 and received special dispensation from Pope Pius IX for not having yet reached the canonical age.
He was consecrated in 1872 when he was appointed by Pope Pius IX as the Archbishop of Siracusa.[2] He held that position until he was transferred to the archdiocese of Messina where he remained until his death. Pope Leo XIII created him a cardinal in 1893.[3] He established the Apostles of the Holy Family[4] on 29 June 1889.[5]
Guarino suffered a stroke on 1 February 1895 and this left him semi-paralyzed and completely unable to talk. He remained in his archdiocese but had aides to support him. Due to complications from pneumonia, he died in 1897. He was buried in Messina, and in 1907 his body was found to be incorrupt upon his exhumation. His body was later transferred to the cathedral of Messina, where a monument was erected; his remains were once more transferred in 1983 to the General House of the Apostles of the Holy Family, the order which he had sanctioned.[6]
Beatification
In the first official step towards sainthood, Pope John Paul II declared Guarino to be a Servant of God. The next step in the process would be for Guarino to be declared Venerable.[7]
