Eleven Saints in One Family

One of the eleven was officially canonized, the patron saint of this order, Saint Louis Marie Grignion de Montfort. The other ten were brothers and sisters of his who died after baptism in infancy.  Perhaps it was their faithful endurance of this heavy cross that merited for Jean Baptiste Grignion and his wife, Jeanne Robert, to have such a son as Louis Marie.
