This past Epiphany (2011), Father Joseph Mary McShane of the Franciscans of the Immaculate selected my special patron saints for the year of 2011. This year I received St Francis, St Jerome, St Faustina, Bl Andres Sola Molist, and the Marian title Our Lady of the Holy Rosary.

I wasn’t too familiar with Blessed Andres Sola Molist, but I’m learning more about him. That’s him in the photo above. He was a young priest who received martyrdom in Mexico on the 25th of April, 1927.
