José Luis Carreño

José Luis Carreño Etxeandía S. D. B. (23 October 1905 – 29 May 1986) was a Spanish Roman Catholic priest.

He was a missionary in India and the Philippines, founder of the Indian institution Sacred Heart College, Thirupattur, Vellore District, and a member of the Salesians of Don Bosco. He was also a poet, musician and writer, with a special interest in the Shroud of Turin (see Bibliography below). He has been called the most loved Salesian in South India, at least in the first part of the twentieth century. Pascual Chavez Villanueva, Rector Major of the Salesians, speaks of him as "the great missionary of India and of the Philippines in the footsteps of St Francis Xavier".
