His feast Day is October 1st. He has this date because from October 1-October 13 was when the first World series was played in 1903.He is the patron saint of determination because in High School he did not make the baseball team.

There he flourished and was drafted onto a farm team. Two years later he made his debut in the Major Leagues.

One important event in his life is that he went through moving around a lot because of his parents jobs. When he was about 13 they finally settled down in the sunny town of Tampa, Florida. He then went to school at Incarnation Catholic School. He took the placement test and attended Jesuit form 2015- 2019. Then went on to attend Harvard and then went two more years in graduate school. He focused on baseball and became very successful. He played three years in the MLB until he had a life threatening injury. God called to him one night when he was on the edge of death and from then on he became a priest and immersed himself in Christ.

One event that lead him to sainthood was him setting up a charity organization for children that are abused. A quality that lead him to becoming a saint is that he was very passionate in the work that he did. He was passionate in saving a child from a child in a broken household. Another event that made him a saint was when he went to Haiti to help out people that were struggling with the rubble of the earthquake. All of these events lead up to him becoming a saint.
