What saint has personally impacted you and why ?
St. Marguerite D’Youville has impacted my life because she has the charism of work, and the power to do. She was one of the founders of the sisters of charity in Montreal, and she worked to provide housing for the poor. Because of her hardworking and generous actions in her life, she gives me motivation and courage to do the same, even if it is difficult. I know that when I do things to help the poor, sick, and destitute, such as donating, she is proud of me and is watching over me.
