Today, 400 years ago, he died

This Saint was dedicated to Our Lady.

The heart of this Saint came to Wylie, TX - St. Anthony Church.

He had modeled his life on the Immaculate Conception so much so that when he died, his closest associates could never recall a single sin he had ever committed.

Fr. Paul's statue of the Saint was taken to Wylie and was touched to the relic of the Saint.
Devotion to the souls in Purgatory contains in itself all the works of mercy, which supernaturalized by a spirit of faith, should merit us Heaven. de Sales
