Pasquale Di Milla

Pasquale Di Milla (September 8, 1869 – March 18, 1940) was one of the first active Italian priests in the Diocese of Boston, Massachusetts.

At which point he removed to the United States and settled in Boston, Massachusetts, where he arrived on October 1, 1901, on the ship, Tartar Prince.

[2] He was one of a small group of people to found St. Michael's Cemetery in Boston in 1905[3] and remained president for over a decade starting in 1908.

At a Knights of Columbus fund raiser for the home, on July 31, 1920, Charles Ponzi promised Di Milla that he would donate $100,000 for the cause in memory of his mother.

[5] He traveled back to Italy[5] that same year and returned to Boston after a while where Cardinal O'Connell assigned to various chaplaincies which kept him fairly busy.
