Kuriakose Elias Chavara.
A priest of the nineteenth century who co-founded Kerala's first indigenous religious congregations, set up a Sanskrit school, brought in a printing press, and issued a circular telling every parish to open a school beside its church — which is a large part of why Kerala reads. Canonised by Francis in 2014.
