Hermano Pedro de San José de Betancurt
Hermano Pedro de San José de Betancurt was a Spanish missionary and the first saint of Guatemala, known for his deep commitment to serving the poor and marginalized. Born in 1626 in Tenerife, he dedicated his life to humanitarian work, establishing the Hospital de San Lázaro in Guatemala City and founding the Order of the Brothers of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Mercy. His legacy of compassion and service led to his canonization by Pope John Paul II in 2002 during a historic visit to Guatemala, where he was honored for his exemplary life and contributions to the community, particularly in the realms of education and healthcare.
