Feast of Saint Dominic Savio

Saint Dominic Savio is the patron of boys, children’s choirs and juvenile delinquents to name a few. A good patron for Billy?

The very first thing this son of mine said to me this morning was, “Happy Feast of St. Dominic, Mom!” He has recently realized that every saint has a feast day, and our Picture Book of Saints lists that day under their pictures. He obsessively flips through this book reminding me of upcoming feasts. I think he’s afraid that we might forget to honor someone. Wait until he learns that this book doesn’t list every single saint, and that hardly a day goes by without a saint’s association to it!
