Feast of St. Thomas of Villanova

Today we celebrate St. Thomas of Villanova (1488–1555) — a remarkable bishop and Augustinian friar known as the “Father of the Poor.”

St. Thomas lived a life of deep simplicity and charity. Though he was a brilliant preacher and scholar, he is remembered most for his compassion. As Archbishop of Valencia, he tirelessly cared for the poor, the sick, and orphans, giving away nearly everything he had. Even on his deathbed, he asked that his bed be given to someone in greater need.

His life challenges us to see Christ in the poor and to live with hearts open in generosity.

St. Thomas of Villanova, pray for us!

WELCOME FATHER ROBERT HALE! FATHER HALE for short!
