Artwork by the Benedictine Sisters of Turvey Abbey.

Feast day: 21st June.

St. Aloysius Gonzaga, Jesuit Priest, (1568-1591).

A contemporary of St. Charles Borromeo (from whom he received his first communion) and St. Robert Bellarmine who was his spiritual director.

He died as a young man caring for plague victims. In 1729 Pope Benedict XIII declared him patron saint of students and in 1926 Pope Pius XI named him patron of all Christian youth. Because of the nature of his death, showing compassion and courage in the face of an incurable disease, he is also regarded as patron of AIDS sufferers and their carers.

He is pictured with lilies showing his innocence and chastity.
