Hildebrand Gregori

Silv., (8 May 1894 – 12 November 1985), was an Italian Benedictine monk, who served as the Abbot General of the Sylvestrine congregation of the Order.

He was born Alfredo Gregori in Poggio Cinolfo, part of the town of Carsoli in the Province of L'Aquila.

It was at Rome that he met Mother Maria Pierina De Micheli and developed a devotion to the Holy Face of Jesus.

He directed his spiritual daughters to the "charism of reparation," understood as an act of love against the "sin of social injustice".

[2] On 27 September 2000, the 50th anniversary of the religious congregation he had founded, Gregori was honored by an official letter from Pope John Paul II to Cardinal Fiorenzo Angelini.
