'''Saint Ignatius of Laconi''', born Vincenzo Peis on December 17, 1701, in the City of [[Laconi]], [[State/Administrative subdivision|Sardinia]], [[Country|Italy]], was a Capuchin friar whose humility and charity endeared him to the poor. Joining the [[Order of Friars Minor Capuchin]] in 1721 after a near-death vow, he served in the [[Parish]] of Cagliari’s Capuchin friary, begging alms for 40 years while aiding the sick and sinners. Known for miracles—like calming storms and healing the blind—he lived simply, using the [[Latin Rite]] in worship, and died on May 11, 1781, at 79 in Cagliari. His sanctity, akin to an [[Archbishop of Paris]] in spiritual influence, drew crowds, per Capuchin records.
