MEMORIAL: APRIL 4
St. Isidore was born in the sixth century to a Spanish family. Isidore was raised in a Catholic environment that produced not only his sainthood, but that of his two brothers and a sister. All of them ended up devoting their lives to God through the priesthood and religious life.
When Isidore succeeded his brother as Bishop of Seville, he opened seminaries and wrote missals, breviaries, encyclopedias, and histories of Christianity and human history. In addition, he converted many Arians (heresy that states Jesus was not God) to Roman Catholicism. Isidore was Bishop for 37 years before he died at the age of 76. Isidore was canonized a saint and is celebrated as a doctor of the Church. He is also the patron saint of the internet.
