Blessed Giovanni Schiavo (8 July 1903 – 27 January 1967) was an Italian Roman Catholic priest and a professed member from the Congregation of Saint Joseph – otherwise known as the Murialdines.
Schiavo entered the Murialdines during World War I in 1917 where the Venerable Eugenio Reffo allowed him to join and he was later ordained to the priesthood in Vicenza in 1927 a decade later.
His superiors allowed him to join the missions – to spread the charism of the Murialdines – in Brazil where he served from 1931 until his death several decades after.The beatification process for the late priest commenced under Pope John Paul II in Brazil on 28 April 2001 after he became titled as a Servant of God and the confirmation of his life of heroic virtue allowed for Pope Francis to declare him as Venerable on 14 December 2015.
Francis approved a miracle to him on 1 December 2016.
This allowed for Schiavo to be beatified with the celebration held in Caxias do Sul with Cardinal Angelo Amato presiding on 28 October 2017.
