Guy de Montpellier was a 12th-century religious founder who established the Order of the Hospitalers of the Holy Spirit. Born in Montpellier around 1160, he dedicated his life to providing care for the sick, the poor, and abandoned children. Although he was never a priest, he organized a diverse community of clerics, laity, and women to practice universal charity. His work received official papal recognition in 1198, and he is honored as a blessed in the Catholic tradition.
