About St. Francis de Sales

Feast Day: January 24
Patron of: Writers, journalists, authors, the Catholic press, confessors, deaf people, educators, adult education, the Diocese of Annecy

St. Francis de Sales, born into nobility in France, left a promising legal career to follow God's call to the priesthood despite family opposition. As Bishop of Geneva during the Counter-Reformation, he faced the challenge of ministering in a Calvinist stronghold. His creativity and patience led to an innovative approach, including slipping pamphlets under doors when preaching was met with resistance. His writings, including "Introduction to the Devout Life" and "Treatise on the Love of God," showed that holiness can be found in everyday life, inspiring countless souls to live authentically and joyfully. His famous counsel, "Be who you are and be that perfectly well," continues to encourage believers to pursue holiness through simple acts of love and authenticity.
