On this day in our Jesuit history...

1657At Brunsberg died Father George Marchienicz, a Pole, a great servant of our Lady. He often exclaimed: "O Society of Jesus, the glory which surrounds The thrones of kings is nothing compared with thine."
1688Brother Giuseppe Castiglione, S.J. is born. Painter and missionary to China. "One Hundred Excellent Horses" is his most famous painting. He had studied under Br. Andrea Pozzo and sailed for China when 27 years old. There he undertook the role of the official painter to this distant court with the positive conviction that art was above all a means of carrying out his evangelical mission.
1790Father de Cloriviere, acting, it would seem under divine inspiration, founded the Congregations of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary, and of "Les Filles de Marie."
1951Death of Jacques Sevin, Founder of the Catholic Scouts of France.
