The first Salesian bishop is now a prince of the Sacred College, the venerable Cardinal Cagliero, Apostle of Patagonia. The second bishop, the saintly and eloquent speaker and writer, Msgr. Louis Lasagna, after incredible missionary labors in South America, was killed in a train wreck in Brazil, November 6, 1895.
Other zealous Salesian Missionaries whose labors in the vineyard have been crowned with the mitre and crosier, are the Most Reverend Felix Ambrose Guerra, Archbishop of Santiago de Cuba; the Right Reverend John Marenco, Bishop of Massa Carrara, Italy; the Right Reverend Francis de Aquino Correa, Auxiliary Bishop of Cuyaba; the Right Reverend James Costamagna, Titular Bishop of Colonia; the Right Reverend Louis Olivares, Bishop of Nepi and Sutri, Italy; the Right Reverend Anthony Malan, Titular Bishop of Arniso; and the lamented Prefect Apostolic of Southern Patagonia, the Right Reverend Joseph Fagnano, whose virtues and saintly death, September 18, 1916, I have briefly recorded on a preceding page.
