description: "Joseph Cafasso was an Italian Catholic priest who was a significant social reformer in Turin. He was one of the so-called \"Social Saints\" who emerged during that particular era. He is known as the \"Priest of the Gallows\" due to his extensive work with those prisoners who were condemned to death. But he was also known for his excessive mortifications despite his frail constitution. He neglected certain foods and conditions to remain as frugal and basic as possible unless a doctor ordered otherwise."
