Saint Zachary's Feast Day is on March 9th. That is his Feast Day because that is the date of his birth and the date he was canonized on. A very holy date for him in that case. He is the Patron Saint of soccer players. His whole life he loved to play soccer but chose God over soccer. He wouldn't just pray before he played he would pray when he plays. He is also the Patron Saint of baby's birth. When he was born he almost died. His esophagus wasn't connected to his lungs. He couldn't breathe when he was born and had to stay in the Emergency Room for a week since he was born. His parents would pray everyday for their son who would end up to be Saint Zachary.

In his early life he would do many things. For one Saint Zachary was an altar server. He would go to mass every Sunday and altar serve every couple of weeks. He was also a teacher's aide in Faith Formation. He would aide Pre-K, 5th grade, and 3rd grade. One day he was feeling very bad and had to go to the hospital. He was in there for 5 days. He had a problem with his stomach called Gastropresis. Saint Zachary also would invite his friends to church. He was also a small who liked to play soccer a lot.

One reason that Saint Zachary became canonized a Saint is because he would preach. He would get people that he knew that didn't go to church often and get them active again. He would also help people that didn't do holy things and needed God in their life. This was important because it allowed people to be closer to God. Later in his life he became a professional soccer player. Then he got injured and once he got injured he devoted his life to God. This was important because he started to be more active with God and helping out his church. The last reason for his canonization is he would have his own service where he would pray with children. He would pray with children about healing people and about them growing up and staying active in the church. This allowed children to learn more about the church and stay connected to the church.
