Saint Stanislaus
Kostka - (1550-1568) He was a young Polish lad who desired to become
a Jesuit priest. His father violently opposed him, but he persevered
and walked hundreds of miles to Rome. After only nine months in the
novitiate, he died at age eighteen. He is shown as a novice, deep in
prayer and receiving a spiritual Communion from an angel. His
inclusion is a remembrance of the contribution and the close ties of
the Jesuits to the parish. Four young men from the parish joined the
Jesuit Order.
