Dominic Pozzoni, (22 December 1861 – 20 February 1924), was titular Bishop of Tavia and the third Apostolic Vicar of Hong Kong. He was a member of the Milan Foreign Missions (M.F.M.).
In 1921, Bishop Pozzoni requested the Maryknoll Fathers to take over staffing St. Louis School. Some of the boys were orphans while the rest were remanded by the Hong Kong government, the government giving a small monthly grant for each student. The Maryknoll Fathers renamed the school 'St Louis Industrial School' and equipped it with a print shop to teach the boys a trade.[4]
In 1923 Pozzoni suggested that Maryknoll Sisters staff the anticipated Kowloon Hospital. However, the government withdrew its offer in the face of objections by English residents who opposed the sisters both for their being American and Catholic.[5]
He died in the French Hospital in Hong Kong 20 February 1924.[6]
