Saint of the Day

Saint Turibius of Mogrovejo

Prominent in the history of the Catholic Church in Peru, Saint Turibius of Mogrovejo supported the rights of the native people. He was nominated to be Archbishop of Lima, Peru, by King Philip II of Spain. Not even a priest at the time, Turibius protested the assignment, but to no avail. He was ordained a bishop and sent to Peru.

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.
