4. Janssens to Scalabrini²⁰

(Telegram)

Milan, October 3, 1889

Impossible to come today. I will come tomorrow at five-thirty in the afternoon.

F. Janssens, Archbishop

20 AGS. There is an entry in Archbishop Janssens’ journal, p. 30, for October 4, 1889, confirming this visit: “Visit to Bishop Scalabrini of Piacenza. Most kindly received. He will send two Italian priests.” Then, on p. 32, the Archbishop adds on December 13, 1889: “Arrived today Rev. Angelo Chiariglione and Rev. Jacobo Gambera, two priests and two Brothers sent by Bishop Scalabrini, Bishop of Piacenza, to begin work for the Italians. They are as a beginning; they have been based on the first story of the Seminary. It is understood that their ministry will be for the Italians exclusively and for no others.” Eventually, ministry to the Italian immigrants developed and on August 27, 1892, Archbishop Janssens asked Father Zaboglio for another priest: “I hope that you will be able to send me another priest to visit the countryside. You know the need. Yesterday a plantation owner asked my permission to erect a chapel on his plantation where there are 300 Italians . . . .” (AGS).
