Francisco Rodrigues da Cruz, S.J. (29 July 1859 – 1 October 1948), more commonly known as Father Cruz (Portuguese: Padre Cruz) was a Portuguese priest of the Catholic Church. Revered in Portugal for his apostolic fervor and charity, he visited prisons and hospitals in every city, gave alms to the poor and ministered spiritually to all, achieving a great reputation for sanctity. Some called him "Blessed Father Cruz" and "Apostle of Charity" still in his lifetime.
