A shrine to Saint Isidore the Farmer, known in Spanish as San Isidro Labrador, and who is patron saint of Madrid and Seville, taken on Thanksgiving Day, at Saint Ignatius Loyola Church, in Concord Hill, Missouri.
Saint Isidore was a poor laborer known for his great piety and numerous miracles.
A plaque under the statue reads:
IN MEMORY OF
REV. ARNOLD W. BRUCKERHOFF
PASTOR OF ST. IGNATIUS PARISH
1965 - 1975
Sorry, Saint Isidoro of Seville ≠ San Isidro Labrador
ReplyDeleteThe Catholic Encyclopedia let me down. It says that Saint Isidore Farmer is patron also of Seville.
