His family environment provided him with a solid Christian and cultural formation. God called him to the priesthood. In Rome he was moved by the misery of young people and children, and the Lord called him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the spring of 1597 he visited Trastevere, discovered a small parish school, and founded the \"first popular and free school in Europe\". He called his work the \"Pious Schools\", and founded the Order of the same name. The Piarists <a href=\"https:\/\/scolopi.org\/calasanz\/\">profess<\/a> \"four solemn religious vows: poverty, chastity, obedience, and dedication to the education of youth\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He died in Rome on August 25, 1648. He was declared a saint in 1767, and Pope Pius XII declared him \"heavenly patron of all Christian popular schools\" in 1948. Saint John Paul II <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vatican.va\/content\/john-paul-ii\/es\/letters\/1997\/documents\/hf_jp-ii_let_19970624_xuriach.html\">he said.<\/a> that St. Joseph Calasanz took Christ as his model and tried to transmit to young people the profane science and wisdom of the Gospel.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>St. Louis of France, promoter of justice and peace<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The liturgy also celebrates on this day, among other saints and blessed, St. Louis, King of France (Poissy, 1214 - Tunis, 1270), founder of institutions such as the Sorbonne and the Sainte-Chapelle. He is remembered as king <a href=\"https:\/\/es.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Luis_IX_de_Francia\">just and merciful<\/a> and for promoting peace and justice.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He was canonized by Pope Boniface VIII in 1297, after dying of the plague on August 25, 1270, while caring for the sick. His reign enjoyed prestige in Christendom. He was a first cousin of the Castilian King Ferdinand III the Saint, he married Margaret of Provence and they had eleven children. It is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.franciscanos.org\/agnofranciscano\/m08\/dia0825.html\">employer<\/a> of the Secular Franciscan Order. Some cities in Mexico are named after him.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>San Jos\u00e9 de Calasanz, fundador de la primera escuela popular cristiana de Europa, y de los Padres Escolapios, naci\u00f3 en 1557, en Peralta de la Sal (Arag\u00f3n, Espa\u00f1a).
