Domenico Lentini
Domenico Lentini (20 November 1770 – 25 February 1828) was an Italian Roman Catholic priest. He was ordained in 1794 and was a life-long parish priest in his hometown of Potenza where he promoted Eucharistic devotion and worked alongside the poor of the area. He also fostered education and evangelization and often taught parishioners catechism and literature while making himself available to hear the confessions of penitents.
The beatification process for Lentini opened in 1905 and he became titled Venerable in 1935. Pope John Paul II beatified Lentini on 12 October 1997.
