November 26th- St. Leonard of Port Maurice, Priest, First Order Franciscan


Leonard had great devotion to the Holy Eucharist, the Sacred Heart of Jesus and to Saint. Francis. He  joined the Franciscans (OFM) in  1697. After his ordination in 1703 he preached all over the Tuscany region of Italy. Through his devotion to the Stations of the Cross, he  erected about 600 Stations of the Cross throughout the lands. In 1744, the Pope sent Leonard to preach on Corsica. He returned to Rome in 1751 after receiving a summons from the pope. Leonard died at his friary, St. Bonaventure, on November 26.
