During his early studies in Rome, he would regularly go out into the streets of the city to care for victi ms of the plague. He himself contracted the disease as a result of his eff orts for the suff ering and died on June 21, 1591, at the age of twenty-three, six years short of his ordinati on as a Jesuit priest. Even before his ti me as a Jesuit, Aloysius was known for his love of prayer and fasti ng. He received his First Communion from St. Charles Borromeo. As a Jesuit at the Roman College, he conti nued to devote his ti me to prayer and practi ces of austerity. His spiritual director was Robert Bellarmine who later was canonized and declared a doctor of the church. When Robert was dying, he asked to be buried next to the grave of Aloysius. Today, they rest next to each other in the church of St. Ignati us Loyola in Rome. Pope Benedict XIII canonized Aloysius in 1726, and three years later declared him to be the patron of youth in the Catholic Church, an honor later confi rmed by Pope Pius XI in 1926. Adjacent to our university campus is a parish church, St. Aloysius. A statue of Aloysius stands outside the church, representi ng the saint carrying in his arms a victi m of the plague. Two miles north of the university is a Jesuit secondary school also named in honor of the saint, Gonzaga History Preparatory School. Gonzaga University in Spokane is the only Jesuit university in the world named aft er St. Aloysius. One of the most frequently asked questi ons about Gonzaga University is the origin of the name. Who was St. Aloysius Gonzaga? He is an Italian Jesuit saint of the 16th century. In 1887 when Father Joseph Cataldo (pictured above), an Italian born Jesuit, founded Gonzaga College in Spokane, Washington, it seemed fi tti ng to name the new school aft er his fellow Jesuit and fellow Italian, St. Aloysius Gonzaga. Aloysius is the Lati n form of Gonzaga’s given name, Luigi. In English, the equivalent form would be Louis. The Gonzaga name is well known in Italy. Aloysius Gonzaga was born at Casti glione near Mantua, Italy, in 1568 to a celebrated family of wealth and presti ge. As the fi rst born son of his father, Ferrante, and his mother, Marta, he was in line to inherit his father’s ti tle of Marquis. He grew up amid the violence and brutality of the Renaissance Italy and witnessed the murder of two of his brothers. In 1576, Aloysius’ parents sent him to att end the court of the Grand Duke of Tuscany, Francesco de’Medici, in Florence. Later, accompanied by his parents, he traveled to Spain to join the court of Philip II in Madrid. In Spain, Aloysius decided he wanted to join the newly founded religious order, The Society of Jesus. His father resisted his decision and there followed a struggle of wills that conti nued aft er his return to Casti glione in 1584. But Aloysius eventually prevailed.
