Saint Luigi Guanella (†1915) was an Italian Roman Catholic priest and the founder of several religious institutes: the Daughters of Saint Mary of Providence (1890) and the Servants of Charity (1908) alongside his friends David Albertario and Giuseppe Toniolo. Guanella also founded the Pious Union of Saint Joseph(1914) with his supporter and first member, Pope Pius X. These religious communities focused on the relief of the poor throughout the world. The Servants of Charity motto reads "In Omnibus Charitas" ("In all things Love"), which became the cornerstone of his own life. He received beatification on 25 October 1964 from Pope Paul VI and was canonized on 23 October 2011 by Pope Benedict XVI.
