Mons Luigi Calza born in Roccaprebalza (Parma) in 1879, ordained priest in 1902 and elected Bishop of Zheng Zhou (He Nan China) in 1916 in Parma was the first Xaverian bishop. Fr. Luca describes his life with many details from the Xaverian archives.

You will be able to read: 1) his determination to follow the Lord’s call, 2) and the development of the first mission of the Xaverian Missionaries, marked by trials, suffering from hunger, the great difficulties caused by the flooding of the Yellow River, the presence of “brigands” in the mountainous territory of the mission, and the Sino-Japanese war. 3) the relationship with the Founder of the Xaverian missionaries, St. Guido Maria Conforti. His faith and his attention to the needy have led him to still be remembered in China many years after his death on November 24, 1944.

It was a surprise for everyone when, on the centenary of the founding of the “5th People’s Hospital”, in 2012 after many years of oblivion, the director together with doctors and nurses went to his tomb and paid veneration to the figure of the founder of the Hospital who in his 100 years served the needs of the most needy patients without distinction.

CINESE/ 賈師誼

蒙席賈師誼 (Mons Luigi Calza) 於 1879 年出生於羅卡普雷巴爾紮（帕爾馬），1902 年晉鐸，1916 年在帕爾馬當選為鄭州（中國河南）主教，是第一位沙勿略會的主教。路加神父 根據 沙勿略檔案館中的許多細節描述了他的一生。

您將能夠讀到：1）他決心追隨主的召喚；2）沙勿略會傳教士第一個傳教點的建立和發展，其中充滿了考驗，包括飢餓、黃河洪水帶來的巨大困難、傳教點山區“土匪”的出沒以及中日戰爭；3）聖孔維鐸主教的關係。他的信得和對需求的關注，使他在1944年11月24日去世多年後，仍然被中國人民銘記。

2012 年，在「第五人民醫院」成立一百週年之際，經過多年的沉寂，院長與醫生和護士們一起前往醫院創始人的墓地，向這位在一百年人生中不分青紅皂白地為最貧困的病人服務的醫院創始人致敬，這讓所有人都感到驚訝。
