Bornin1835,atRiese,he wasordainedpriestin1858. Followinghisreceptioninto theThirdOrderatTreviso, DonSartobecameazealous promoteroftheThirdOrder withinhisownparish.

In1885,DonSartowas inductedintothebishopric ofMantua-thefirststep onhiswaytothePapal Chair.ThenewBishop constantlyproposedthe ThirdOrderofSt.Francis tohispeople.Examplein suchmattersalwaysspeaks louderthanwords.

Theyear1894sawBishop SartowelcomedtoVeniceas Cardinal-Archbishopofthat historicSee.FromVenice, echoingthevoiceofthe reigningPontiff,PopeLeo XIII,CardinalSartospoke enthusiasticallyofmembershipinSt.Francis'Third Order.

"Dearlybeloved,"he wrotetohispeopleinMay, 1901,"Iinviteyouallto enrolintheThirdOrder. Andthemorewillinglydo Imakethisrecommendation becausethepreceptsofthe ThirdOrderadmirablyagree withwhatIhaveinculcated inmyearlierletters,namely,thatweshouldstudyand imitatethelifeofJesus Christandformaleague againstblasphemy,evil speechandtheprofanation ofthefeastsoftheChurch.
