ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN FEBRUARY
Saints celebrated on the 9th of February
BLESSED LEOPOLD OF ALPANDEIRE, RELIGIOUS
Leopold of Alpandeire was born Francisco Tomás de San Juan Bautista Márquez y Sánchez on June 24, 1864. He became a professed religious of the Order of Friars Minor Capuchin. His life is not distinguished for spectacular works but rather for the humble and simple life in which he led his life as well as for his kindness - in particular towards the most deprived persons. He spent most of his life in Granada where its people still remember and celebrate him as a model example of Christian life and virtue. He went to his eternal reward on February 9, 1956.
