Blessed Vincent De Laquila

Blessed Vincent De Laquila, also known as Vincent of L'Aquila, was a Catholic saint and a member of the Friars Minor. It is believed that he may have trained as a shoemaker in his youth before he joined the order at the tender age of 14. He took up residence at the convent of San Giuliano outside L'Aquila, Italy and spent his formative years in a humble hut nestled in the forest near the convent. Vincent rarely left his secluded dwelling, venturing out only for religious services, Mass, or when called upon by his superiors.
