April 28: Saint Peter Chanel, Priest and Martyr—Optional Memorial

1803–1841
Patron Saint of Oceania
Canonized by Pope Pius XII on June 12, 1954
Liturgical Color: Red

Quote:
It does not matter whether or not I am killed; the religion has taken root on the island; it will not be destroyed by my death, since it comes not from men but from God. ~Saint Peter Chanel

Prayer:
Saint Peter, God placed the seed of desire in your heart as a youth to give yourself to His service as a missionary in far-off lands. When that desire came to fruition, you held nothing back, laying your life down sacrificially. Through that sacrifice, your blood nourished the faith of the people you served, and God transformed them into His holy people. Please pray for me, that I will courageously give of myself for God’s glory, no matter the cost. Saint Peter Chanel, pray for me. Jesus, I trust in You.
