The Feast of St. Joseph Vaz
In 17th century Ceylon (now Sri Lanka), Catholics suffered great persecution. St. Joseph Vaz, priest and confessor from India was allowed to travel to Ceylon, the first priest to be there in 50 years, only to be accused of being a foreign spy and jailed. When Buddhist priests’ prayers failed to bring rain to the drought-stricken country, the king sent for St. Joseph. He prayed in the public square the next day, and rain came. In gratitude, the king allowed more priests to come Ceylon and St. Joseph was free to bring missions to large portions of the islands. Today, 9 of the 12 dioceses make up districts started by him. He died at the age of 59 in 1711, and was canonized in 2015, making him the first saint from Sri Lanka.
