Life of St. Jerome Emiliani

Universal Patron of Orphans and Needy Youth

St. Jerome Emiliani was born in Venice, Italy in 1486. At very young age he took up a military and political career in the Serenissima Repuplic of Venice. In 1511, Jerome was held captive in the Castle Tower. On September 27, 1511, he was miraculously liberated by the Blessed Virgin Mary and became a new man. He gave up his riches for the poor. He sheltered orphans and abandoned children . He dedicated his whole life in the service of the poor. On February 8, 1537 contracted a disease, he died in the village of Somasca.

The Somascans continue the legacy of St. Jerome Emiliani's commitment in serving the poor and taking care of the orphans and troubled youth.............

Last February 22, 2009 Casa Miani Celebrated the feast of St. Jerome Emiliani. It was attended by the neighbors and friends of Casa Miani- Cebu. The celebration started with a Holy Mass and followed by many fun activities and presentations
