LEOPOLDO DA CASTELNUOVO. - Capuchin, whose family name was Mandic, b. at Castelnuovo di Cattaro on 12 May 1866, d. at Padua on 30 July 1942. He entered the convent in 1885, and in 1890 was ordained a priest. After brief stays in various houses, in 1906 he was transferred to Padua, where he remained until his death.

Frail in health and unsuited to preaching, he could not realize his ardent missionary vocation among the Eastern peoples; but for almost 40 years he was a confessor to people of every sort, carrying on a hidden yet very extensive apostolate. A model of Franciscan virtues, after his death his reputation for holiness spread rapidly, and in Jan. 1946 the diocesan informative process was opened in Padua.
