Francis de Sales was a brilliant mind and compassionate heart devoted to God. Against his parents’ wishes, Francis became a priest with the help of his dear cousin Louis. Together, they courageously ministered to those estranged from the church in the Chablais region, winning souls with his gentle, persistent charity and the use of technology. His story is a timeless example of courage, charity, and perseverance.
