George St-Isidore Research Paper

Deep in the thick swamps and woods of Northern Gulf County, amidst the buzz and sting of mosquitoes, chirps of squirrels, and swirls of the Apalachicola, is a long-lost story. One hundred and eighty years ago the town of Iola sprang out of the cypress swamp of what is now north east Gulf County. That small community, was, and still is an enigma in the wilderness of territorial Florida and has all but faded from the memory of Gulf County and is nothing but a boat ramp now.

The saint I chose was St. Germaine Cousin. I chose her because she is someone who went through so much and devoted her life to God even when life became a struggle for her.

When he was 33, Saint Ambrose was living a rich life. He was a successful lawyer and governor. However, when the bishop of Milan died, Ambrose went to go calm the people. The people started chanting, "Ambrose for bishop!" Ambrose did not want to give up his career for the “ life- threatening occupation”(St. Ambrose par. 5) of being bishop, so he fled. He went to the emperor, but the emperor said that he was right for the job. Once he took up the position, Ambrose gave away his property and learned Scripture and theology. “Ambrose used his skills as a lawyer and orator to fight the Arians in church, court, senate, and even the emperor's own family.”(St. Ambrose par. 7) Although his stubbornness originally made him deny the job. It was his stubbornness that also made him a strong bishop. (St. Ambrose par.1-7)

St.Michael the Archangel actually helps people so much even some people today. St.Michael helps people find the courage to face danger and carry on (St.Michael the archangel 12). St.Michael helps/affects people today because he has a prayer which helps and makes people feel stronger every time they pray it (Saint Michael Center 4). People who face danger every day working to protect us find that St.Michael’s medal fortifies their faith and reinforces their commitment to the protection for others (St.Michael the Archangel 12). The Archangel St.Michael is the patron saint of the warrior, who catholics have designated as the protector of those who strive to preserve security, safety, and peace (St.Michael the archangel 1). As such members of

The Catholic church is one of the best known religions today. Yet it was not like this before in the olden times. The Church was not reaching out into the outer peripheries. Many people in general did not know what Catholicism was. They were misguided by the pagan priests who taught them false teachings of tree-rock-sun worship. Every time the Church would attempt to evangalize these countries they would be thrown out or the evangalizers would be killed in barbaric ways. Yet 1 man stood out and managed to succesfully evangalize most of Prague and Poland. That mans name was St. Adalbert.

It was a tied game during the championship match of the 2002 Paralympic games. If St. Germaine made this goal then Team USA would win the game! He swung his stick back hitting the puck and GOAL! Team USA won the ice sled hockey game against Norway! Unlike most Olympic medalists, none of these were standing. St. Germaine and his teammates were paraplegics, a person who has lost the use of his/ her legs because of nerve or muscle damage.

During the Civic Engagement day I went to the activity at eight at Yoder Recital Hall. The title of his talk was the professor in the cage, why men fight and why we like to watch. This was by a speaker named Jonatha Gottschall. He was an English professor at a University and he was 40 years old. Across the street where the English department is there use to be a Mechanics shop but now there was a Mixed Martial Arts. Jonatha always like to watch fighting and was really fascinated by it also. One day he went there across the street to look in the window of the MMA building and he was planning to write a book about the darkness in MMA. All of that changed once he began to be a fighter. He trained for thirteen months then he had his first fight.

In 1295, in a small town of Montpellier, France, a young boy named Roch was born. He was not just a normal boy; at his birth Roch had a red cross on his breast. Roch was born into a very wealthy family; his father was the governor of Montpellier. However at the age of twenty both of his parents tragically died and he had given all of his money to the poor. He was orphaned by his uncle, the new governor of Montpellier. He was later sent as a spy to Italy, disguised as a mendicant pilgrim.

St. Catherine was born in Sienna, Italy on March 25, 1347. She had 24 siblings, but most of them didn’t make it past childhood. Catherine’s sister died when she was 16. An idea by her parents came up about Catherine marrying her sister’s husband. She rejected the idea and began to fast and make herself look bad because it made her so mad. From this, she became more religious, but did not want to join a convent. Instead, she joined the Third Order of St. Dominic, which allowed her to become part of a religious group while still living at home with her family. Catherine’s family continually criticized her for giving away things without asking, but she put up with their complaints and kept giving to the poor. Giving to the poor was what she

My confirmation saint is ST. George. St. George was born circa 280 in Cappadocia, an area that is now part of Turkey. I chose St. George because he was brave in professing his faith. St. George was raised as a catholic and had a father who was martyred for his faith. At a young age, St. Georgie served in the Roman army under the Emperor Diocletian and was applauded many times for his excellent service to the Empire. From the rule of the Emperor Decian, until 284 A.D., when Diocletian became Emperor, the Christian Church went through a period of peace. After Diocletian had repressed the barbarian tribes which were attacking the Empire and after he had held its borders, he began to concentrate on the Empire's inner affairs. Diocletian believed
