Tomás Morales Pérez (30 October 1908 - 1 October 1994) was a Spanish Roman Catholic priest and professed member from the Jesuits who founded the Institutos Seculares de los Cruzados de María.
Morales moved to Madrid as a child in 1909 where he studied law in Madrid at the college there and obtained his doctorate in Bologna at the college there.
He entered the Jesuits in 1932 and was ordained a decade later in Granada before he began serving as a teacher in Badajoz.
He founded his secular institute for the purpose of engaging in a social apostolate and his strong Marian devotion led him to write on and promote the recitation of rosaries on a frequent basis.He had been known in life for his holiness and the cause for his beatification opened less than a decade after his death in 2000.
He became titled as a Servant of God upon this point.
He became titled as Venerable on 8 November 2017 after Pope Francis confirmed that the late priest had led a model life of heroic virtue.
