Domenico Lentini (20 November 1770 – 25 February 1828) was an Italian Roman Catholic priest.[1][2] He was ordained in 1794 and was a life-long parish priest in his hometown of Potenza where he promoted Eucharistic devotion and worked alongside the poor of the area.[3] He also fostered education and evangelization and often taught parishioners catechism and literature while making himself available to hear the confessions of penitents.[4][5]
The beatification process for Lentini opened in 1905 and he became titled Venerable in 1935. Pope John Paul II beatified Lentini on 12 October 1997.[1][2]
