5 SAINT FIDELIS OF SIGMARINGEN, Martyr ( ) Feast Day is April 24th Born in 1577, Mark Rey (Fidelis was his religious name) became a lawyer who upheld the causes of the poor and oppressed people. Nicknamed "the poor man's lawyer," Fidelis soon grew disgusted with the corrup on and injus ce he saw among his colleagues. He le his law career to become a priest, joining his brother George as a member of the Capuchin Order. His wealth was divided between needy seminarians and the poor. As a follower of Francis, Fidelis con nued his devo on to the weak and needy. During a severe epidemic in a city where he was guardian of a friary, Fidelis cared for and cured many sick soldiers. He was appointed head of a group of Capuchins sent to preach against the Calvinists and Zwinglians in Switzerland. Almost certain violence threatened. Those who observed the mission felt that success was more a ributable to the prayer of Fidelis during the night than to his sermons and instruc ons. He was accused of opposing the peasants' na onal aspira ons for independence from Austria. While he was preaching at Seewis, to which he had gone against the advice of his friends, a gun was fired at him, but he escaped unharmed. A Protestant offered to shelter Fidelis, but he declined, saying his life was in God's hands. On the road back, he was set upon by a group of armed men and killed. He was canonized in He was the first martyr of the Congrega on for the Propaga on of the Faith.
