Clemente Vismara

Clement Vismara (6 Septemba 1897 – 15 Juni 1988) alikuwa padre mmisionari kutoka Italia. 

Alitumia miaka 65 kati ya 91 ya maisha yake katika misitu ya Myanmar akisaidia watu wa makabila ya Akhà na Ikò, hususan watoto na wajane.«It was Fr. Paolo Manna who urged me to write [articles and letters] and helped me a lot. ... When he came here in 1929 I was in a thatched hut and he rebuked Msgr. Bonetta. But for me that wild life was perfect and I chided Fr. Manna so he told me: “You do not understand anything”. He gave me 25,000 Italian lire. “Not enough”, I said: “If you write articles I will give more”. So I started writing.» (“Letter of Fr. Clement Vismara to Fr. Piero Gheddo”, Mong Ping, August 23, 1985; in ”Positio” p. 417).

Vismara alijitolea kwa dhati katika huduma yake, akilenga kuboresha maisha ya jamii alizokuwa akihudumia. Aliweza kuwapatia msaada wa kiroho na kimwili, akifanya kazi kubwa ya kuwajengea uwezo watu wa makabila haya, na alijulikana kwa upendo na huruma yake. Utoaji wake wa huduma umemfanya kuwa mfano wa kufuatwa katika maisha ya kiroho na kijamii.

Papa Benedikto XVI alimtangaza mwenye heri tarehe 26 Juni 2011.

Sikukuu yake huadhimishwa tarehe ya kifo chake.
