He was already well known as a preacher of retreats and missions and a promising career awaited him in the Diocese. His family were angry that he seemed to be squandering the good education they had provided him with and the faithful of the diocese were rather disgruntled to lose such a good a pastor. So what could have possessed Father Belvisotti to make such a move?  This was precisely the question that the Provincial Minister had asked Father Belviscotti., and, in laying bare his heartfelt wish to join the Order, Father Belvisotti answered this question, saying:  \"Up until now I have done my own will. but a voice within me tells me that I must follow obedience if I am to do the Lord's will.\" And so on the 24th of May 1716, the noble Father Belvisotti put on the coarse clothes of probation worn by Capuchin novices and from then on would be called by a new name - Brother Ignatius of Santhià.   \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #783f04;\"\u003eFather Belvisotti\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #783f04;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eSaint Ignatius of Santhià's baptismal name was Laurence Maurice and he was born on the 5th June 1686 at Santhià in the Vercelli region of northern Italy.
