Catholic Diocese of Macau publishes book on St. Roch, patron of invalids
Born to a rich family in southern France, Roch of Montpellier devoted himself to the care of the sick and the Catholic Church immortalized him with the status of protector against infectious diseases, patron saint of the invalids, surgeons and falsely accused people and defender of dogs. In Macau and around the world, devotion to Saint Roch was restored due to the COVID-19 pandemic. To thank the charitable saint for the protection he has extended over the city, the Catholic Diocese of Macau has recently released a book on his life and journey of faith.
