Hermínio Pinzetta (27 July 1911 - 31 May 1972) - in religious Salvador from Casca - was a Brazilian Roman Catholic and a professed religious from the Order of Friars Minor Capuchin. He worked for three decades on his parents' farm where he helped them in the fields and aided in managing the livestock though in later life entered the religious life after a long period of discernment. He took up various tasks while in the convent at Flores da Cunha and worked there in roles such as a porter and beekeeper. Pinzetta was known among his colleagues and the people as a man who exhibited strong virtue with meekness and led to the Bishop of Caxias do Sul in 1970 granting him permission to give Communion to people and in 1971 asking him to promote pastoral initiatives for the sick.
