Hong Kong - September 2015 - On 15 September, a documentary on Fr Gaetano Nicosia, SDB, was launched at the Salesian community in Hong Kong. Fr Nicosia dedicated his life to the leper colony in Coloane Macau and was nicknamed "the angel of the lepers". The documentary tells the story of Fr Nicosia, now a centenarian – how he became a Salesian, his missionary vocation and his works. Two friends of Fr Nicosia, Ciriaco Offeddu and Angelo Paratico, produced the documentary. It was financed by a fundraiser and took two years to make. It will be presented to the public in November.
