St. Vincent Ferrer
Patron Saint of Builders
St. Vincent Ferrer was a Dominican Friar who lived during the 14th century. He spent his time strengthening the Church through preaching, missionary work, teaching, and serving as a confessor and advisor. Vincent made many unsuccessful efforts to end the Western Schism through his apostolic ministry. Even though his efforts were unsuccessful, he became a devoted missionary, which led him to nearly every province of Spain, France, Italy, Germany, Flanders, England, Scotland, and Ireland. He died in 1419 and was canonized shortly after in 1455.
