Saint Aloysius Gonzaga: June 21st.
St. Aloysius is the patron saint of youth and students because of his service to others as a young adult. He was an Italian aristocrat who became a member of the Society of Jesus.
While still a student at the Roman College, he died at twenty three years of age as a result of caring for the victims of a serious epidemic. He was beatified in 1605 and canonized in 1726.
