Josep Manyanet i Vives, SF (7 January 1833 – 17 December 1901) was a Spanish Roman Catholic priest and the founder of the Sons of the Holy Family and the Missionary Daughters of the Holy Family.[1] He served in a range of capacities as a parish priest before establishing both religious orders in order to spread devotion to the Holy Family to whom he fostered an intense devotion.[2]
The sainthood cause commenced under Pope Pius XII on 25 November 1956 – in which he was titled as a Servant of God – while Pope John Paul II named him as Venerable in 1982. The same pope beatified him on his trip to Paris in 1984 and later canonized him as a saint in mid-2004 in Saint Peter's Square.[3]
