Frances De Sales- The Gentleman Saint!

Published: January 24, 2022

Read about Frances -who wanted to help people to understand that they are called to be saints.  Pope Pius IX conferred on him the rare title of Doctor of the Church.  He is the patron saint of deaf individuals and he is also the patron of journalists and writers because of his many written religious works. Because of these publications, he is depicted with a book in the left hand and a quill pen in the right.
