Saint Louis; Saint Joseph Calasanz, Priest

*Optional Memorial*

Today we celebrate two great saints; St. Louis IX and St. Joseph Calasanz.*
St. Louis IX was King of France in the 13th century, having become king at
age13. *Throughout his reign, St. Louis defended justice and promoted
peace. He *organized ‘the court *of the king;’ bringing regular reviews of
feudal cases. He *prioritized the poor; founding many hospitals and
charitable organizations.* Also,* he loved architecture; supporting the
famous Sorbonne University and the Sainte Chappelle*, the ‘Holy Chapel’
known for its architectural complexity with stained glass. He was canonized
in 1297 by Boniface VIII. [1]

*St. Joseph Calasanz *was* born *in Aragon, *in the Kingdom of Spain, in
the 16th century.* He performed well in school, *earning a Doctor of Law
and a degree in theology.* After the death of his mother and brother,* he
became ordained.* He held many ecclesiastical offices including; confessor,
synodal examiner, procurator, and Secretary of the Cathedral. * At age 35,
he moved to Rome, discovering many orphaned and abandoned children. He
started caring for them and quickly established a free school. He founded
the Order of the Pious Schools (Piarists) to teach the over 1000 children
soon in attendance.** This became the first public schooling system in
Europe*. He welcomed every child regardless of faith, wealth, or cultural
heritage. He was canonized by Clement XIII in 1767. [2]
