Vincenzo Lipani (28 December 1842 - 9 July 1920) - in religious Angelico - was an Italian Roman Catholic priest and a professed member from the Order of Friars Minor Capuchin who founded the Franciscan Sisters of the Lord.
Lipani settled on the religious life (despite his parents insisting he become a diocesan priest instead) but later joined the Franciscans after his parents relented; he did his religious formation as well as his theological and philosophical studies in Palermo where he was ordained in 1865.
But new legislation forced religious orders to dissolve and he instead began to serve as a teacher in Caltanissetta for over two decades before being given a parish church to renovate and act from.
He later was able to help restore his order in the region and founded a religious congregation dedicated to tending to the poor.The beatification process for Lipani had opened in the late 1990s in the Caltanissetta diocese and he became titled as a Servant of God; he became titled as Venerable in mid-2019 after Pope Francis confirmed that Lipani had practiced heroic virtue throughout his life.
