Church of SS. Cosmas and Damian St. Joseph Calasanz Priest
|
| History: Saint Joseph Calasanz
was born at Aragon in 1557. Well educated, he became a priest and exercised
his ministry in his homeland. Later he dedicated himself to the education of
the poor boys at Rome and founded a society pledged to that work. He endured
many trials, especially the calumnies of those who were jealous of his
success. He died at Rome in 1648. His feast is celebrated on August
25th. Prayer: Lord, you blessed Saint Joseph Calasanz with such charity and patience that he dedicated himself to the formation of Christian youth. As we honor this teacher of wisdom, may we follow his example in working for truth. We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
