His parents were wealthy landowners and devoutRoman Catholic s.As a priest, he felt it his duty to help children and youth who lacked role models and risked being corrupted, as well as abandoned older persons and priests who were isolated and without support. He also helped restore churches and Tabernacles left to decay. From 1921 to 1950 he served as confessor at religious institutes and in the Reggio Calabria prison. He was also hospital chaplain and spiritual director of the Archiepiscopal Seminary.

Riparo , Reggio Calabria. When the Archbishop curtailed the activities of the Congregation, Fr Catanoso showed great docility in accepting this decision; however, on 25 March 1958, the Constitutions he had written received diocesan approval.He was beatified by
Pope John Paul II on4 May 1997 .
