Saint Gaspare Luigi Bertoni (†1853) was a Catholic priest and founder of the Congregation of the Sacred Stigmata (Stigmatines). Ordained in 1800, he dedicated his life to serving youth, clergy, and the poor amidst the turmoil of the French occupation. Despite chronic illness and over 300 leg operations, he remained a spiritual guide, directing retreats and founding Marian Oratories. His deep faith, mystical experiences, and devotion to Christ’s Passion inspired his apostolic mission. He was beatified in 1975 by Pope Paul VI and canonized in 1989 by Pope John Paul II, his feast day is celebrated on June 12.
