Happy Feast Day Saint Giuseppe Moscati 1880 - 1927 Feast Day: November 16 Patronage: bachelors, people rejected by religious orders, physicians
St. Giuseppe Moscati received his doctorate from the University of Naples in 1903 and eventually ran a hospital for the wounded where he personally treated almost 3,000 soldiers. He healed (sometimes miraculously), taught at numerous universities and hospitals, and supported the poor and outcast. Sometimes he could diagnose a patient‘s illness and prescribe for it without having seen the patient and knew when and how to use a patient‘s faith and the sacraments to effect a cure. He was the first modern physician to be canonized.
