Aloysius was prepared to be a soldier by his father, but after falling sick with kidney problems he turned to prayer and learning about Saints. At the age of eighteen, he signed away ties to family land and became a member of the Jesuit Order. While caring for plague victims in a Jesuit Hospital, he himself contracted the plague, and predicted the time of his own death. He is the patron saint of teenagers and AIDS patients.
