Saint of the Day

Saint Agnes of Bohemia

Saint Agnes of Bohemia never married, but had a number of nobles interested in her as a possible wife. Preferring the religious life, Agnes became one of Saint Clare of Assisi’s Poor Ladies, but not until after she had built a hospital and a friary for the local Franciscan friars.

Saint Oswald

Franciscan Media February 29

Saint Oswald knew people in high places─his uncle was the archbishop of Canterbury. But even though he received “favors” from his uncle, he served humbly and gained holiness through God's grace.
