Saint: St. Augustine was born in Roman Africa to his Christian mother, St. Monica, and a pagan father, Patricius, who later converted on his deathbed. He is the patron of brewers because of his conversion after living a life without God, pursuing parties, worldly ambitions, and even had a son out of wedlock. He is also the patron of printers and theologians for his extensive writing on the Catholic Faith. Through the prayers of his holy mother and the preaching of St. Ambrose became convince that Christianity was the one true religion. He did not become a Christian then because he thought he could never live a pure life. In a garden he heard a child singing, “Take up and read!” Thinking God intended for him to hear this he picked up a book of Letters of St. Paul and read the first passage he saw. St. Paul said to put away all impurity and to live in imitation of Jesus and from then on Augustine began a new life. He was baptized along with his son, became a priest, a bishop, a famous Catholic writer, founder of religious priest, and one of the greatest saints that ever lived.
