Congratulations to NIAF Member Joseph R. Novello, M.D., who has written a biography of one of NIAF’s Founding Members, Angelo D’Agostino, S.J., M.D.–or “Dag,” as everyone called him. Novello’s DAG: Savior of AIDS Orphans tells the story of how D’Agostino, as a medical missionary in Kenya, developed Africa’s first orphanage for HIV+ children and later, although threatened with imprisonment, dared to be the first to import lifesaving AIDS medications into Africa.

As a result, thousands of lives were saved. Dag was given a state funeral in Nairobi when he died in 2006. His cause for canonization is now being considered by the Vatican. NIAF’s first saint? Available in hardcover, softcover and ebook at Amazon: https://amzn.to/3f48To7.
