Francis Caracciolo
Francis Caracciolo (October 13, 1563 – June 4, 1608), born Ascanio Pisquizio, was an Italian Catholic priest who co-founded the Congregation of the Clerics Regular Minor with John Augustine Adorno.〔(Paoli, Francesco. "St. Francis Caracciolo." The Catholic Encyclopedia. Vol. 6. New York: Robert Appleton Company, 1909. 23 Jan. 2013 )〕 He decided to adopt a religious life at the age of 22. In Italy, he is known as known in Italy as San Francesco Caracciolo, but should not be confused with the 18th century Neapolitan Admiral, and relative, of the same name.
==Early Life and Career==
St Francis Caracciolo was born in Villa Santa Maria in the Abruzzo region, in the Kingdom of Naples. He belonged to the Pisquizio branch of the Caracciolo family and received in baptism the name of Ascanio. From a young age, he had a reputation for gentleness and uprightness.〔(Butler, Alban, "The Lives or the Fathers, Martyrs and Other Principal Saints", Vol. V, by the Rev. Alban Butler, Virtue and Company, Limited, London, 1954 )〕
When he was 22, he was attacked by one of the several skin complaints collectively described as "leprosy" in those days. So serious was this attack that he was considered hopeless. With death so near, he made a vow that if he regained his health, he would spend the rest of his life in the service of God and his fellow men. He recovered so quickly after this vow, that his cure was considered miraculous.〔ibid.〕 Eager to fulfil his promise to God, he went to Naples to study for the priesthood. In 1587 he was ordained priest and joined the confraternity of the ''Bianchi della Giustizia'' (The White Robes of Justice), whose object was to assist condemned criminals to die holy deaths.
