In honor of Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, we are celebrating saints like Saint Paul Miki, the Patron Saint of Japan and one of the first native Japanese Christians whose faith endured even in the face of persecution.

As a Jesuit seminarian and gifted preacher, Paul Miki boldly shared the Gospel at a time when Christianity was outlawed in Japan. In 1597, he and 25 companions were arrested and crucified for their faith. From the cross, Paul continued to preach, stating just before his death “After Christ’s example, I forgive my persecutors. I do not hate them. I ask God to have pity on all, and I hope my blood will fall on my fellow men as a fruitful rain.” His courage and unwavering trust in God helped sustain the Catholic faith in Japan for generations. St. Paul Miki reminds us that even in the most difficult moments, faith, mercy and hope can leave a lasting impact.

In honor of Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, we are celebrating saints like Saint Magdalene of Nagasaki. Born near Nagasaki, Japan, Magdalene endured the loss of her family to martyrdom, yet her faith only deepened. Magdalene taught catechism, sought alms for the poor, visited the sick and encouraged fellow Christians during intense persecution. After several spiritual leaders were martyred, she continued their mission and eventually surrendered herself to authorities in 1634 to strengthen the courage of others. She endured torture for 13 days before her martyrdom. Canonized in 1987, Saint Magdalene remains a powerful witness of courage, solidarity and unwavering love for Christ.

When Everett English came to us with a severe infection, it led to the discovery of a stroke. After time in our ICU, he began intensive therapy in our inpatient rehab unit, where he struggled with basic things like eating, sitting up, and talking. But Everett proved to be a fighter, and our team was able to help him regain his strength and independence. This , we are grateful for journeys like Everett’s and our stroke care team, who helped him fight back.

In honor of Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, we are celebrating saints like Saint Lorenzo Ruiz. Born in Manila to a Chinese father and Filipino mother, Lorenzo lived an ordinary life of faith as a husband and father. His life changed abruptly when he was accused of murder and sought refuge with Dominican missionaries traveling to Japan. Arriving amid persecution, Lorenzo remained with the missionaries, knowing the danger ahead. He was arrested in Nagasaki and endured severe torture, yet his faith strengthened in the face of suffering. Canonized in 1987 as the first Filipino saint, his life reflects courage, faith and unwavering trust in Christ.
