Two Saints Canonized in 1900 Holy Year Ceremonies
The Catholic church will canonize St Rita of Cascia and St Jean Baptiste de la Salle in May 1900. Rita, known as the patroness of the impossible, endured hardship before becoming an Augustinian nun. De la Salle, born in Rheims in 1651, founded the Christian Brothers to promote free primary education and now oversees a vast network of schools. The double canonization will involve grand rites in Rome with papal involvement and a procession of church dignitaries.
