Greetings!
Dear Stigmatine Friends, Each year, on June 12, we Stigmatines celebrate the Feast of our Holy Founder, Saint Gaspar Bertoni. We feel most fortunate to have such a Holy Founder of our Community. He has left us with a beutiful legacy - all to the glory of God! One of his favorite maxims goes like this: "God granted us a participation in His divine
nature so that we might live and work better with our own individual
natures." This is a beautiful thought and one that inspires
us Stigmatines to use our gifts, whatever they might be, for the glory
of God and the up-building of the Church. Saint Gaspar urges us to
realize that all we have received is a gratuitous gift from the good God
and that we are to use our gifts for the advancement of God's Kingdom.
We hope that you will pray to Saint Gaspar on June 12 for his
intercession. May he become your Holy Patron, too! May God continue to bless you and all your loved
ones. With Our Prayers, The Stigmatine Fathers
Holy Spouses Province
