St. Henry de Ossó was a passionate educator and apostle who dedicated his life to making Jesus known and loved, especially among young people. Born in 1840 in Vinebre, Spain, he followed his calling to the priesthood with deep devotion and founded the Society of St. Teresa of Jesus. Inspired by St. Teresa of Avila, he used education as a means to lead souls to Christ, emphasizing prayer, virtue, and perseverance.
His legacy is one of tireless evangelization and trust in God’s providence. Whether through his writings, his educational initiatives, or his personal witness, St. Henry sought to instill in others a deep love for Jesus and a commitment to living the Gospel fully. His life motto, “I will always belong to Jesus—his minister, his apostle, his missionary of peace and love,” continues to inspire generations today.
