Santiago, Chile, Jan 7, 2013 \/ 04:11 pm (CNA\/EWTN News<\/a>).- Father Ubaldo Santi Lucherini, one of the founders of Caritas Chile who devoted years of his life to caring for AIDS and cancer patients, died on Jan. 4 at the age of 92.<\/p>\n

\tThe announcement of his death was made by the Chilean delegation of the Order of the Mother of God, which he helped to found more than 50 years ago.<\/p>\n

\tBishop Manuel Camilo Vial of Temuco, Chile, president of Caritas Social Ministries in the country, called Father Santi \u201ca great man, one of the great ones of our Church.\u201d<\/p>\n

\t\u201cFather Santi had a big heart full of ideas,\u201d the bishop said. \u201cHe knew how to sense where there was suffering.\u201d<\/p>\n

\t\u201cThrough Caritas he learned of the great need AIDS patients and their families were experiencing, and thanks to his contacts he started the Family Clinic,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n

\tThe bishop praised Fr. Santi as a great \u201cvisionary\u201d who was able to marshal enormous resources to help in the areas of housing, youth ministry and education.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\t\u201cHe was present during so many emergencies, lending help through Caritas,\u201d the bishop said. \u201cWe could list so many things.\u00a0 It is a great loss.\u201d<\/p>\n

\tBorn on May 19, 1921 in Braga, Italy, Fr. Santi was ordained a priest at the Basilica of St. John Lateran in Rome in 1946. He then traveled to Chile with a group of other priests to found the first community of the Order of the Mother of God.<\/p>\n

\tFor more than 40 years, he served in Caritas Chile, becoming the driving force behind the Family Clinic for AIDS and cancer patients.<\/p>\n

\tFr. Santi will be remembered as \u201ca great disciple of the Lord, a great servant of the people in the name of the Gospel of Jesus Christ,\u201d said Archbishop Ricardo Ezzati of Santiago, adding that the late priest \u201ctranslated the Gospel of charity and of solidarity in a very particular way.\u201d<\/p>\n
