SAINT JOHN OF GOD
FOUNDER
John was born in Portugal at Montemor-o-Novo in 1495. Before his conversion, at age forty, he was a soldier, shepherd, and bookseller. In 1537, he felt himself called to do charitable works and began giving the poor and sick, even transforming his house in Granada into a hospital. He died in 1550 and was canonized in 1690.
He is depicted in a cassock while healing the sick.
