Nov 04 – Homily – Fr Dominic: St Charles Borromeo

 

At 23 St Charles was made governor of the Papal States by his uncle the Pope. Later put in charge of the diocese of Milan although not yet ordained a priest. He was eventually ordained and consecrated a bishop and worked to educate the clergy and reform monasteries. He survived an assassination attempt and spent his wealth feeding the poor during a famine.

Ave Maria!
