Blessed Andrea Carlo Ferrari (13 August 1850 – 2 February 1921) was an Italian cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church who served as the Archbishop of Milan.
Pope John Paul II beatified him in 1987 and his cause of canonization still continues pending a second miracle attributed to his intercession.
Andrea Ferrari was born on 13 August 1850 in the village of Lalatta (Palanzano) in the Province of Parma. He was the eldest of four children to Giuseppe Ferrari and Maddalena Longarini. He received the sacrament of confirmation in 1866.
He felt called to serve as a priest and was educated at the seminary in Parma where he was to obtain a doctorate in theology in 1883. He received the subdiaconate on 21 September 1872 and the diaconate on 15 December 1872. He was ordained to the priesthood on 20 December 1873 for the Diocese of Parma where he served from 1874 until 1890.
Ferrari served as the Vice-Rector of its seminary and served also as a professor of physics and mathematics in 1875. He later became its rector in 1877. He was professor of fundamental theology, ecclesiastical history and moral theology at the seminary in 1878, and published the Summula theologiae dogmaticae generalis (A Short Summary of General Dogmatic Theology) in 1885, which proved to be a respected work in the field. It was reprinted several times.
