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.

St. Ignatius of Antioch understood the Christian faith to be objective and sensible, stating that Christianity is fundamentally a religion based in historic, tangible realties . He was adamant to the fact that Jesus Christ was a real human with real flesh; he encountered real suffering and died a truly human death. Ignatius saw Christian faith and the person of Jesus Christ in such a way that it put him at odds with the Gnostics, who held to a Docetic Christology that was circulating widely among the Church. For Ignatius, this was a serious issue that needed to be addressed due to the purity of the faith and the truth it held. At stake was the validity of the incarnation, suffering, death, and resurrection of the person of Jesus Christ. If this is not real or true, Ignatius believed that man

St. Frances Xavier Cabrini was born in Sant'Angelo Landigiano, Italy in 1850. She was born the youngest of the thirteen children by Agostino Cabrini and Stella Oldini, who were cherry tree farmers. Sadly, only four of the thirteen children survived. Born premature, small and weak, Cabrini grew up living in delicate health throughout her life. At the age of thirteen she went to school that was run by the Daughters of the Sacred Heart, and five years later graduated with a teaching certificate. She then applied for admission to the religious congregation of the Daughters of the Sacred Heart. But unfortunately, these sisters reluctantly told her she was too fragile for their way of living, so she went to Codogno, where she became a head mistress

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.

Throughout history stories have been twisted to appeal to a target audience. St George is one of those characters. He originally was a Roman soldier who was killed for his beliefs, then a knight in shining armor who ran around saving princesses and slaying dragons. He was a real person who became legendary, and who influenced many cultures.

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

Saint Sebastian is the Patron of Saint of three things. Those three things are soldiers, athletes and those who desire a saintly death. However, in Saint Sebastian’s lifespan he shows multiple Gifts of the Holy Spirit, why he is a saint, and why he is chose to be my patron saint for my Confirmation. But, to know why he shows multiple Gifts of the Holy Spirit, why he is a saint and chosen to be the patron saint for my confirmation’ we would need the history of Saint Sebastian first.

When I was told to choose a saint to be my patron saint for Confirmation, I thought the choice was obvious for me. It took me just a few moments and one quick touch to my neck to remember my patron saint, Saint Sebastian. I have a medal that I wear every time I leave the house with a picture of Saint Sebastian that says “Saint Sebastian Pray For Us.” I was given this medal when I was very young.

The saint of life, Saint Brahamus was both a child of a wealthy banking family within Florence but also one of the two children who had stumbled upon the literature created by the then Alcemene. Him and his sister's would never be the same from that day on, the two were influenced heavily by their parents to take a more scholarly outlook on life. They hoped to make him a man of cloth, hopefully to soon become the courts chaplain and aid in their families primary faith. Little did they know this would only inspire him to look at the documents they found in a more religion light. He and his sister would constantly study from the book- attempting to learn what really happened that fateful night under the moonlight. All they knew for sure is that their house's governess was missing with no trace

My saint is Saint Francis de Sales. I chose Francis because he is the patron saint of the deaf. My mom is half deaf. He even created a sign language so a deaf man could hear about God. Another reason why I chose St. Francis is because my brother’s name is Francis. I enjoy reading books, and Francis was the patron of Catholic writers.

As I take this chance to reflect, I discovered a truth, the sky is the limit. During my years at St. Luke, I have developed as a student, an athlete, and as a member of the Catholic Church. I believe that everyone brings something special gift to the world, and I believe my gift is that of determination to become a great man through faith and education. I have been an alter server for about two years. Being an alter server has brought me closer to God and my Catholic community. Education has been a big part of my life. I can truly say I am grateful for the opportunity I have had to attend St. Luke. After St. Luke, my plans are to use my education and become prepared to take on the challenges and rewards of high school.
