Memories of a Missionary Priest
By publishing this page, we hope to collect the memories, the encounters, the stories of the lives of the people touched by our beloved Don Mimi. If you have a memory to share, please feel free to post it here on this blog.
A true modern day Guanellian missionary until the last breath. The Guanellian map saw new horizons thanks to his vision. Don Mimmi, did you want to celebrate the joy of Guanella’s sainthood with heavenly choirs of angels? Intercede for us from your heavenly abode. Gabriel
Don Domenico was the first Guanellian priest I encountered in my life. I was a child when I was invited to Fr. Guanella’s house in Fraciscio, first experience for the boys in 1965. I remember Fr.Domenico with great pleasure and gratitude because it was through him that I came to know Saint Louis Guanella and above all thanks to him, I am now a Guanellian religious.
I had an golden oppertunity to live with Fr. Mimi for 10 months in Philippines. He was my model as i just began my priesthood. still i keep all the memories in my mind, the time i spent with him, the advice that he gave and the time we made jokes and the time he shared his experience. he was a good example and model for me. he taught me through his life how a religious priest should be. I am so lucky to live with such a holy person. Don Mimi, i love you and miss you so much. i hope that you always pray for me wherever you are (this is the promise you made to me when i left for VIetnam).
