(born Giuseppe Antonio Migliavacca; 13 June 1849 – 10 December 1909), was an Italian Catholic priest and a professed member from the Order of Friars Minor Capuchin.

Migliavacca founded the Suore di Maria Santissima Consolatrice in 1892 alongside a small group of women who desired to become nuns, but slanderous accusations made against him forced him to abandon it and pursue the Franciscan charism instead; he dealt with these humiliations in private, but as a Capuchin became a preacher and confessor and aided the Third Order of Saint Francis in Bergamo.

[2] He served first as the coadjutor in the parishes of Paderno Ponchielli from 18 April to 15 December 1874 and then at Cassano d'Adda from 4 January 1875 until he decided to pursue the religious life.

He resumed his studies after this but this was again interrupted due to ill health which prompted him to move to Cremona to the Vida College where he served as the prefect from 1879 until 1883.

[2] In 1892 the Archbishop of Turin Davide Riccardi asked him to guide a group of aspiring nuns who wanted to embrace the religious life and it strengthened his relationship with Giuseppina Fumagalli who had known him since his time at Cassano d'Adda.

[3] He was also sent to Trent on 4 March 1891 and then to Piacenza that September where he was a spiritual director for seminarians under the care of the bishop Giovanni Battista Scalabrini who became a close friend.

But complications soon arose among those in power in the Jesuits and he was asked to leave the order on 24 March 1892; he bowed to this request in August 1892 which caused him considerable pain.

On 25 December 1892 he founded the Suore di Maria Santissima Consolatrice for female religious and received diocesan approval from the Turin archbishop on 20 June 1895.

He moved after his initial profession in 1903 to the Bergamo convent of Borgo Palazzo and dedicated himself to preaching, hearing confessions, and aiding the tertiaries of the Third Order of Saint Francis.

[3] Migliavacca's health began to decline over a prolonged period of time (including a fight with arteriosclerosis) and on 19 November 1909 he sent a letter to the nun Maddalena stating that his one eye was paralyzed for a month and he was undergoing treatment for it.

The miracle in question was the cure of the nun Ausilia Ferrario (from the late priest's order) who suffered from tuberculosis in her Verghera convent on 17 October 1946.

Pope Francis approved this miracle on 20 January 2017 and this confirmed that Migliavacca would be beatified with the date for the beatification being determined on the following 1 March and being communicated to the Milan archdiocese for preparations to begin.
