Saint John of Matha, OSsT (†1213), was a French Catholic priest and cofounder of the Order of the Most Holy Trinity, initially dedicated to ransoming Christians who had been captured by marauders from North Africa. John traveled to Tunisia himself and brought back countless Christian slaves. He was canonized in 1666 by Pope Alexander VII, and his Feast Day is celebrated on 17 December.
