St Joseph of Calasanz – Jover meta-related-collection-featured-high-res-catholic-art clasping their right hands togetherThis is a portrait of Saint Joseph of Calasanz, Spanish priest and Patron Saint of Catholic schools. In 1597, he opened the first public free school in Rome and in all of Europe, teaching poor and homeless children. This effort led to his founding of the religious order of the Piarists.
