10 March -- St John Ogilvie, S.J.

Today is the feast of the first canonized Scottish saint since 1250. Fr John Ogilvie was of a noble Scottish family and raised a Calvinist. He became a Catholic while on the continent and eventually a Jesuit and a priest. He was sent on the Scottish mission where he was martyred.

There is a fine meditative biography of him by his fellow Jesuit, Fr John Hardon which can be found here.
