Description

Francis de Sales, CO OM OFM Cap. In French: François de Sales was a Bishop of Geneva and is revered as a saint in the Catholic Church. He was noteworthy for his unfathomable faith and his mild accost to the spiritual detachments in his territory leading from the Protestant Reformation. He is also popular for his works on the topics of sacredness and religious foundation, especially the Introduction to the Devout Life and the Treatise on the Love of God.

Francis de Sales was born in the Château de Sales into the gentle Sales family of the Duchy of Savoy, now known as Thorens-Glières, Haute-Savoie, France. His father was François de Sales, Lord of Boisy, Sales, and Novel. His mother was Françoise de Sionnaz, the only daughter and only child of a leading magistrate, Melchior de Sionnaz, and a gentlewoman. He was christened Francis Bonaventura, after two important Franciscan saints. As the first of his six sons, his father aspires him to enroll at the prestigious schools in preparation to becoming a magistrate. He thence delighted a privileged training in the near village of La Roche-sur-Foron and at 8 years old, at the Capuchin college in Annecy.

His forethought for spiritual societies was renewed. Many devotional organizations were formed through that time for people wanting to strengthen the religious foundation which de Sales had advanced, such as: The Missionaries of St. Francis de Sales (M.S.F.S.), formed by the Abbé Pierre Mermier, were the first congregation to advocate his religiosity in the 19th century; The spiritual institution of the Salesians of Don Bosco (S.D.B.), formed by St. John Bosco and sanctioned by the Holy See, was given the first name the Society of St. Francis de Sales, and was put under his benefaction; these and all other foundations of holiness.
