Our Beloved Patron
San Lorenzo Ruiz First Filipino Saint & Martyr
1600 – 1637 | Canonized October 18, 1987 by Pope John Paul II
“I am a Catholic and wholeheartedly do accept death for God. Had I a thousand lives, all these to Him I shall offer.”
Lorenzo Ruiz was born in Binondo, Manila, around the year 1600. The son of a Chinese father and a Filipino mother, he grew up in the vibrant heart of Manila’s Chinese-Filipino community. He served as a sacristan at the Binondo Church, where his deep love for the faith was nurtured.
In 1636, Lorenzo was falsely accused of a crime and, seeking refuge, joined a missionary group heading to Japan. The group arrived during a period of intense Christian persecution. When discovered as Catholics, they were arrested, tortured, and pressured to renounce their faith.
Despite unimaginable suffering, Lorenzo refused to deny Christ. On September 27, 1637, he was executed by hanging upside down over a pit in Nagasaki — enduring this agony for three days before dying. His final words remain one of the most powerful testimonies of faith in Filipino Catholic history.
His Legacy
San Lorenzo Ruiz was beatified by Pope John Paul II in Manila on February 18, 1981, and canonized on October 18, 1987 in Rome. He is the patron saint of Filipino youth, the Philippines, and overseas Filipino workers — a timeless symbol of courage, faith, and Filipino identity.
