The Blessed Giovanni (John) Colombini (†1367) was an Italian founder of the Congregation of Jesuati initially called Clerici apostolici Sancti Hieronymi (Apostolic Clerics of Saint Jerome) because of a special veneration for St. Jerome and the apostolic life the founders led. Their occupations were to be the care of the sick, the burial of the dead, prayer, and strict mortification (including daily scourging). The order was abolished by Pope Clement IX in 1668.
