Saint Stephen, born in 975, was the son of a Hungarian chief. Together with his father, he was baptized Roman Catholic by the Archbishop of Prague. After he marrying the sister of Emperor St. Henry II, he later became the first King of Hungary. As King, he gave much support to Christianizing the region, forming dioceses, building churches and hospices, and supporting Church leaders. Saint Stephen is venerated as an ideal Christian King.
Saint Stephen, who lived consolidating Christianity in his country, pray for us!
