Saint Bartolo Longo
Saint Bartolo Longo is one of the one of our newest Saints in the cloud of witnesses. Saint Bartolo Longo was declared a Saint on October 19th 2025 by Pope Leo XIV. Many have noticed St. Bartolo’s early-life experience with the occult (even to the extent of becoming a satanist priest) but more powerful than his dark past, is the incredible conversion that God brought to fruition in his life. He is an example of one of the many saints who amended his life through the power of the Rosary, the Sacraments and radical repentance from his former ways. St. Bartolo stands as an example of the truth that we are never too far gone for God. We have a savior who is willing to go into the darkest shadows to rescue us and that spiritual healing is possible!
