Angelo Paoli, priest of the order of Carmelites of the Strict Observance, has been beatified on Sunday 25th April 2010 in a ceremony in the Cathedral of St John Lateran presided over by Pope Benedict XVIs Vicar for the Diocese of Rome Cardinal Agostino Vallini.

Born in Argigliano Tuscany in 1642, he became a Carmelite in 1660 and was ordained in 1667. After living in various houses in the Tuscan Province he was called in 1687 to Rome by the Prior General Paul of St Ignatius and lived there until his death in 1720, the house of S. Martino ai Monti, where he is buried.
He was a man with an intense spiritual life with a special devotion to the Virgin Mary, wherever he was, he committed himself to serving the poor and the sick, organising for them service which were innovative and efficient, so much so, that he was known among the people of Rome as Father Charity.

The Vatican Radio spoke to Father Fernando Millán Romeral, Prior General of the Order of Carmelites of the Strict Observance.
