20. St. Stanislaus Kostka:

St. Stanislaus, Kostka. St. Stanislaus Kostka (1550-1568), the patron saint of youth, received his early education from private tutors. He was sent to Vienna for further studies. During an illness, he had some visions in which the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared and enjoined him to devote his life to God and to enter the Society of Jesus. Despite his father’s opposition, he journeyed to Rome where he entered the Jesuit Order. He led a life of great sanctity, piety, and mortification. During his short life, he was an inspiration to many.
