Fr. Ignatius Carsidoni of the Side of Jesus lived between 1801 and 1844. As a Passionist Father, he worked strenuously with fellow Passionist Blessed Dominic Barberi to aid in the reversion of England from Protestantism. The two, along with others, worked to regrow Catholicism in 19th-Century England, instating the Passionist Order there in 1842.
