Lglf ,impairs Qvizaga On june 21, the Church celebrates the feast day of Saint Aloysius Gonzaga, the patron of our beloved school, and a shining example of purity and holiness for boys and girls all over the universe. At the age of twelve Aloysius came under the spiritual guidance of Saint Charles Borronieo and received First Holy Communion froin him. During his years as page to the son of Philip II in Spain he resolved to become a fesuit and after securing his fathers permission, renounced his noble heritage and presented himself to the head of the jesuit order, seeking admission and willing to give his life completely to God, Before the end of his novitiate he was on the start to a brilliant career for Christ and excelled in both Philosophy and Theology. From the very beginning, Aloysius kept his soul as pure as the whitest snow, remaining on his knees many hours before Christ in the Blessed Sacrament, and .spreading devotion to Our Blessed Lady. God wanted to show us that even the very young ian become saints. During the fourth year of the saints studies, a famine broke out in Italy and although Aloysius was in delicate health, he devoted himself to the care of the sielq and soon fell ill. Thus Christ took his soul to Heaven at an early age. Saint Aloysius was canonixed by Benedict XIII in 1726. 'The Church gave us the great advantage of pray' ing to this true model of Christian youth for envouragenient, both in our studies and in our attitude toward life.
