Biography
Oddino Barrotti was born in 1324 at Fossano in the Piedmont region of Italy. Ordained a priest, he devoted himself to the pastoral care of his people and became provost of the chief church of Fossano. He was known for the earnestness of his preaching and his ministry, and above all for his charity toward the poor, the sick, and the strangers and pilgrims who passed through the town.
Drawn to the spirit of Saint Francis of Assisi, he became a member of the Third Order of Saint Francis and embraced a life of poverty and humility. He founded a confraternity of the Holy Cross and worked to establish a hospice where the poor and pilgrims could find shelter and care, giving his own goods to the service of the needy. For a time he resigned his office to live more freely for the poor, though he was later recalled to the care of the parish.
Oddino Barrotti died at Fossano on July 21, 1400, venerated by his fellow citizens. His cultus was confirmed in 1808 during the pontificate of Pope Pius VII. His feast is kept on July 21.
