Saint José María de Yermo y Parres (10 November 1851 – 20 September 1904) was a Mexican Roman Catholic priest and the founder of the Servants of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and of the Poor.
He dedicated his life to catering to the needs of the abandoned and used his order to take care of the poor's spiritual and material needs.
He also was once a vowed member of the Congregation of the Mission due to his devotion to Saint Vincent de Paul but left it after experiencing a sudden vocational crisis.Pope John Paul II canonized the late priest as a saint in 2000 after he had beatified him in Mexico in 1992.
