Saint Joseph of Copertino, O.F.M. Conv. was an Italian Conventual Franciscan friar who is honored as a Christian mystic and saint.

He applied to the Conventual Franciscan friars, but was rejected due to his lack of education. He then pleaded with them to serve in their stables. After several years of working there, he had so impressed the friars with the devotion and simplicity of his life that he was admitted to their Order, destined to become a Catholic priest, in 1625.
