They operate facilities in Ecuador, India, Italy, Kenya, Switzerland, Tanzania, and the United States. St.Cottolengo was beatified by Pope Benedict XV in 1917, and was canonized by Pope Pius XI in 1934. His feast day is celebrated on 30 April. St.Cottolengo is invoked against infectious diseases. He is also invoked against cirrhosis and other liver diseases, due to a miracle attributed to him where he appeared in a dream to a nun who then miraculously recovered from cirrhosis.
