History
Alexis was one of seven men from
Florence who saw a vision of the Blessed Virgin and started a new order called
the Servants of Mary or the Servites. But he was the only one who did not
become a priest. He didn’t think he was called to the priesthood. Instead, he
helped build their church and he managed all the little details that had to be
handled every day.
Activity
In every parish, just like in every
religious order, there is somebody just like Saint Alexis Falconieri who is in
charge of many little details. Most of the time, these are people who are taken
for granted. The parish couldn’t run well without them, but nobody is really
aware of everything they do. Today, write an email or short note thanking the
person who keeps things running smoothly at your parish.
