Bl. Adílio Daronch
(Feast Day May 21)
October 25, 1908- May 21, 1924

Blessed Adílio Daronch was a Catholic
teenager. He was born to Italian immigrants as
the third of eight children and lived his entire
life in Brazil. He was known to have had a love
for football and riding. He became a dedicated
altar server following the reception of his
First Communion and often accompanied
the priest Blessed Manuel Gómez González
on his long missions of evangelization to the
Kaingang Indians.

In 1924, the Bishop of Santa Maria asked Fr.
Manuel to go to the Teutonic colonies in the forest in the south, so Fr. Manuel decided to
take Daronch with him. The pair stopped in
Palmeria to administer the sacraments where
Fr. Manuel exhorted the local revolutionaries to
practice mutual respect and forgiveness. But the
extremists took a strong dislike to this and grew
incensed when he provided a burial for some of
their own. The extremists viewed the pair with
suspicion and plotted to kill them for this.

The locals warned the two not to go into the
forest for they would be at risk. The pair was
ambushed in the morning on May 21 and shot
dead. Both were beatified in October of 2007
in Brazil. Daronch was made the co-patron for
World Youth Day 2012 and 2013.

FAMILY FUN:   

Family Game Night

The apostles James and John were competitive and wanted to be considered the greatest of the disciples. Create a spirit of friendly competition by playing some family games. Parents can pick one game and the kids can pick another. Consider an outdoor game, a card game, or a board game. Hit a discount or dollar store to get fun prizes for winners and losers.
