Francis de Sales
Saint Francis de Sales is the patron saint of teachers, authors, journalists, writers and the deaf. Francis de Sales was born in a noble family near Geneva Switzerland where his father wanted him to become a lawyer and eventually a politician. He however had other plans and became a priest and then a Bishop and later declared a Doctor of the Church. During his short life, he was a voracious writer who wrote pamphlets for evangelizing, letters for spiritual direction and books on the spiritual life and the universal call to holiness. His feast day is January 24th. Buy a pendant or add on a chain to make it a necklace.
