Saint Luigi Versiglia was an Italian Salesian bishop and martyr, born on June 5, 1873, in Oliva Gessi, Lombardy, Italy. He joined the oratory of Saint John Bosco at the age of 12 and became a Salesian in 1889. After studying philosophy in Rome, he was ordained a priest in 1895 and later spent a decade as the head of novices in Genzano di Roma. In 1906, he led the first Salesian missionaries to China, where he established a foundation in Macau. In 1920, he was consecrated as a bishop and appointed the first Apostolic Vicar of Shaoguan, a position he held during politically tumultuous times marked by social difficulties and criminal activities. Versiglia was praised for his pastoral care, focusing on opening seminaries, schools, and orphanages that benefited not only Christians but also non-Christians. His colleague, Don Callisto Caravario, a young Salesian priest born on February 18, played a significant role alongside Versiglia. They both faced the challenges of missionary work in a difficult environment, which included political unrest and concerns over social safety. Their commitment to education and social support left a profound mark in the region, illustrating the influence of the Salesian mission during a time of hardship and change in China, and highlighting the legacy they left in both spiritual and practical aspects for the community.
