Saint Cajetan was an Italian priest, diplomat, and religious reformer born in Vicenza in 1540. After earning a doctorate in both civil and canon law, he served as a diplomat for Pope Julius II. He later dedicated his life to spiritual and physical healing, establishing hospitals for the incurable in Vicenza and Venice. He is most recognized for co-founding the Theatines, a congregation that combined monastic spirituality with active ministry, and for creating a bank in Naples to assist the impoverished.
