Superior from 1924 - 1946
With the IV general chapter (1924), Don Leonardo Mazzucchi (1883-1964) was elected Superior General, spiritual son and favorite collaborator of the founder, reconfirmed in general chapters V (1930) and VI (1936). His long government (1924-46) is of exceptional importance: he took care of the knowledge of the life of blessed Guanella (his is the first and fundamental biography, 1920), the esteem of his spirit (re-edition of the Opere ascetiche and the Regulations, Charitas collection, Divine Providence), the recognition of its virtues until the happy outcome of the diocesan and apostolic processes. He achieved the consolidation of the structures of the Congregation (new text of the Constitutions and definitive approval: 1935).
