Biography

Blessed Jerome De Angelis, also known as Geronimo or Girolamo, was a renowned Jesuit priest who dedicated his life to spreading the Catholic faith. Born in Enna, Sicily, Italy, in 1568, he exhibited a deep sense of devotion from an early age. Upon entering the Society of Jesus, Jerome's zeal for missionary work prompted him to set sail for Japan shortly after his ordination.
