SOD: St. Joseph Calasanz (1556-1648)--Spanish. Although his father wanted Joseph to become a soldier and marry, a near fatal illness led Joseph to discern a priestly vocation. Ordained in 1582. He both worked closely with many Church leaders and helped the poor, sick and uneducated. In 1602, he founded a religious order that came to be known as the Piarists, which focused on founding and operating schools for the poor.
