Clemente Marchisio (1 March 1833 - 16 December 1903) was an Italian Roman Catholic priest who served as a parish priest in the Archdiocese of Turin. Marchisio served as an assistant priest before travelling across Italian cities as word of his mission and holiness spread. In the spirit of evangelical and devotional zeal he established the Daughters of Saint Joseph of Rivalba to suit the religious needs of females. The order had an emphasis on the Eucharist and on Saint Joseph himself.[1]
On 30 September 1984, he was beatified after one healing was recognized as a miracle attributed to his intercession.
