History
Born in Brindisi, a town in the
Naples region of Italy, Saint Lawrence
became a Capuchin brother when he was only 16 years old. He loved to
study and learned theology, philosophy and several languages. After he was
ordained a priest, he accomplished many great things. At one point, the whole
country of Hungary was being threatened by invaders, and Saint Lawrence helped
round up an army to defend the nation. He also wrote many books explaining the
Bible. After he was canonized and named a Doctor of the church, he was also
named the patron of his home town, Brindisi
