Saint John Berchmans - Jesuit Scholastic and Saint
 
John Berchmans, SJ (Dutch: Jan Berchmans, 13 March 1599 – 13 August 1621) was a Belgian Jesuit scholastic and is revered as a saint in the Catholic Church.
In 1615, the Jesuits opened a college at Mechelen, Belgium and Berchmans was one of the first to enroll. His spiritual model was his fellow Jesuit Aloysius Gonzaga, and he was influenced by the example of the English Jesuit martyrs. Berchmans is the patron saint of altar servers, Jesuit scholastics, and students. The sacred fragment is carefully displayed beneath glass and arranged according to traditional ecclesiastical practice, reflecting the object’s devotional purpose and historical significance.
