Saint Egidio Maria of Saint Joseph (†1812) was an Italian professed religious of the Order of Friars Minor. He became a Franciscan brother rather than an ordained priest due to his lack of proper education and so dedicated himself to the care of the poor and ill in southern Italian cities such as Taranto and Naples, where he earned the moniker of the "Consoler of Naples." He was beatified in 1888 by Pope Leo XIII and canonized in 1996 by Pope John Paul II. His Feast Day is commemorated on February 7.
