About Our Patron Saint
Saint Francis de Sales: Patron of Journalists and Screenwriters
A patient and kind person, Francis knew he wanted to become a priest. Despite this, he did not discuss his aspirations with anyone for 13 years. Instead, he enjoyed quiet solitude, telling himself to neither hurry nor worry.
God finally sent a message to him while he was riding his horse. He fell off three times. Every time his sword came out, it made the sign of the cross. Francis realized that this was a message from God.

He became a provost of a diocese, but many of his preachings left his audience confused and bewildered. The parishioners felt that Francis acted superior and conceited. However, this was not true. Francis only had novel ideas and was very idealistic. He came up with an idea that most people felt was utterly ridiculous: Francis wanted to convert 60,000 Calvinists back to Catholicism.
Everyone, including his father, ridiculed and scoffed at his idea. It was only his cousin who had faith in him and joined him on his lonely quest. For years, he failed. Not one person converted and hardly anyone listened.

Francis decided to write his ideas down on paper and shared them with others. People read his writings and soon, 40,000 had converted back to Christianity. This showed us all, for the first time, the “power of the pen.” Francis ultimately prevailed and taught us the power of perseverance.
