Feast day: August 2
St. Peter Julian Eymard
A French priest, once a colleague of the Curé of Ars and St. Peter Chanel, who devoted his life and two new religious congregations entirely to the Blessed Sacrament.
Called the 'Apostle of the Eucharist,' he gave up everything to promote adoration of Christ in the Sacrament, founding both priests' and sisters' communities for it.
