Blessed James Philip of Girgenti (†1456) was an Augustinian friar and bishop born in Girgenti, Sicily. Renowned for his humility, piety, and eloquent preaching, he joined the Order of St. Augustine and later served as Bishop of Patti. His life was marked by devotion to the poor and spiritual guidance, earning him a reputation for miracles. Beatified by Pope Leo X in 1513, his feast day is January 15. He is invoked for prudence and against temptation, remembered as a model of Christian virtue in Sicilian hagiography.
