Entering the priesthood in the wake of the French Revolution, Gaspari was eager to help heal a wounded Europe. Times continued to be uncertain when Napoleon rose to power, yet he remained unfailing in his faith and continued to work as a leader in the church despite persecution. Devoted to guiding the youth, he started his own congregation that offered free schooling and other services for the community.
