Blessed Paolo Manna (†1952) was an Italian Roman Catholic priest and a member of the Pontifical Institute for Foreign Missions (Latin: Pontificium Institutum pro Missionibus Exteris or PIME) as well as the founder of the Pontifical Missionary Union. Manna worked in the missions in Burma and even served as the Superior General for PIME. Manna did much in his life to promote the missions and the evangelic and apostolic zeal that accompanied them and he established newspapers and movements to help promote this charismatic apostolate. He also held several leadership positions in the PIME and used that standing to further engage with prospective missionaries. Manna's beatification cause started on 23 August 1973 under Pope Paul VI in which he was titled as a Servant of God, while Pope John Paul II both named him as Venerable in 1989 and beatified him on 4 November 2001.
