Father Joseph Henchey, CSS,  of the Province of the Holy Spouses, USA, has taught many classes to the Stigmatine Laity about the charism of St. Gaspar Bertoni and the Stigmatine congregation.  These classes have been taught personally or even remotely, through letters and attached documents, and we would like to share them with you.

For all his over 74 years of Stigmatine religious life and almost 64 of Priesthood, Father Henchey has been developing many works on the Stigmatine Original Constitutions and the charism of St. Gaspar Bertoni.   He has established a website honoring St. Gaspar Bertoni, whose title is: A Tribute to St. Gaspar Bertoni
