Macau - St Louis Versiglia with a group of missionaries
Featured
Macau - 1921 - This old picture shows a group of Salesian missionaries, together with St Louis Versiglia (front row, centre), Salesian bishop and martyr canonised in 2000. The photo also shows Fr José da Silva Lucas (sixth in the second row), who was the first Portuguese to work in Macau, where he arrived in 1912. The Salesian presence in Macau had already begun in 1906, with the handover of the Orphanage of the Immaculate Conception to the Salesian Congregation.
