Vicenta Chávez Orozco (6 February 1867 - 30 July 1949), also known by her religious name María Vicenta de Santa Dorotea, was a Mexican Roman Catholic nun and the founder of the Servants of the Holy Spirit and the Poor. Orozco was admitted into a hospital in Guadalajara with pneumonia and there experienced a radical call to help others in the same hospital who were ill - she recovered and soon returned to fulfil this promise while later becoming a religious and establishing her own order in order to advance this mission.
Orozco was named a Servant of God on 13 April 1978 under Pope Paul VI and later declared as Venerable under Pope John Paul II on 21 December 1991 who also beatified her on 9 November 1997.
