Saint Angelo of Acri (†1739), known as the "Angel of Peace" and the "Apostle of the South," was an Italian Roman Catholic priest and a professed member of the Franciscan Order of Friars Minor Capuchin. Falcone had a rough call to religious life after several entries and exits into the order and he later served as a noted preacher across southern Italian cities after his first few sermons attracted little following. Falcone became known for ecstasies during the celebration of Mass and was known for converting the hearts of thousands when he went about preaching. The friar possessed the gifts of visions and bilocation. He received beatification from Pope Leo XII in 1825 after being titled as a Servant of God in 1778 under Pope Pius VI and Venerable under Pope Pius VII on 17 June 1821. Pope Francis approved his canonization and the canonization was celebrated in Saint Peter's Square on 15 October 2017. He is a patron of Acri and of missionaries.
