I know his feast day isn't until tomorrow, but as you may or may have not noticed, I post every other day on here. So I am doing the post about him today.

St. Alphonsus was born in Naples, Italy on September 27,1696. He went to Law School and became a lawyer at the tender age of 16! Not too long after that, he was admitted to the Bar of Neopolitan.

In the year of 1723, he lost a case and God used it to make his heart change for the better. Later on in the 1726, he became an Ordained. A few years later, God told him to create his own congregation. He obeyed God as he always did. He worked hard for his congregation and later on it payed off. He was appointed Bishop of St. Agatha, but 1775 he had to retire.

He has written many books and was close to the Blessed Virgin. He spent the rest of his years writing many books that still exist even today. He died 11 years after retiring, on August 1 1787.

Here are some of his books that you can buy,
