St Stanislaus Kostka

Today is the feast of St Stanislaus Kostka, a Jesuit novice who died in 1568. He is the patron of all novices in Ignatian congregations.

Today is therefore a good day to pray for all those in initial formation, especially the five new Jesuit novices in Birmingham, and Leona, who recently began her noviciate with the Congregation of Jesus. We can pray, too, that St Stanislaus will have many more to keep him occupied as patron in the years to come!
