Who was Guido?
Doctor, surfer, seminarian, and very dedicated son of God. By offering his medicine to the poor assisted by the Missionaries of Charity sisters, and especially after reading the book "Brother Francis of Assisi," he decided to leave everything behind to follow the strong call to priesthood, founded several prayer groups, and was a tireless preacher of the Word of God. Wherever he went, he spread his great love for Jesus, the Virgin Mary, and our Holy Church among people. He didn't waste a single minute, dragging young people to God through his life testimony and his deep and radical search for holiness. He was in his last year of seminary when he was called by God to be even closer to Him.
