St John Leonardi

St John Leonardi is the 16th-century founder of the Order of the Clerks Regular of the Mother of God of Lucca, a congregation of diocesan priests, a small congregation.

His Order arose in response to the rise of Protestantism, and he later founded in Rome what became the Institute De Propaganda Fide (Society for the Propagation of the Faith) and the Confraternity of Christian Doctrine for the promotion of the Catholic Faith and the formation of missionaries.

St John Leonardi died at Rome in 1609, the victim of his devoted care for the sick and plague-stricken, and his body is enshrined in Santa Maria in Campitelli, near the Jewish ghetto in Rome.

His feast day is on the rather over-crowded date of 9th of October.
