Gaetano Catanoso was an Italian Catholic priest born in 1879 who dedicated his life to serving remote mountain communities. Throughout his ministry, he worked as a parish priest and a chaplain, often traveling by mule to reach isolated people in need. He was a fervent promoter of devotion to the Face of Jesus and established several religious groups, including the Suore Veroniche del Santo Volto and the Poor Clerics. He died in Reggio Calabria in 1963 and was later canonized by Pope Benedict XVI.
