Giovanni Calabria (8 October 1873 – 4 December 1954) was an Italian Roman Catholic priest who dedicated his life to the plight of the poor and the ill. He established two congregations, the Poor Servants of Divine Providence and the Poor Sisters Servants of Divine Providence[1] to take better care of poor people in various Italian cities and later abroad while underpinning the need to promote the message of the gospel to the poor.[2]
Pope John Paul II beatified him in 1988 and then canonized him a decade later in 1999.[3] His liturgical feast is 4 December.
