Pay Tribute to St. Francis de Sales by Celebrating Mass At One Of His Namesake Churches

Written By Annie Joy

If there was ever a great saint to make a pilgrimage for, it is St. Francis de Sales:

Born in 1567 in what is now France, St. Francis de Sales became a bishop during a time of deep division in the Church following the Protestant Reformation. He is primarily known for his straightforward, practical approach to the spiritual life, reminding everyday Catholics that holiness is possible no matter one’s vocation or state in life. 

His writings—most famously Introduction to the Devout Life—continue to guide Catholics centuries later, making his feast day a perfect reason to pause, reflect, and make a pilgrimage in his honor.

In honor of St. Francis de Sales' Feast Day on January 24th, we invite you to celebrate mass at one of his namesake churches:
