Getting to know St. Michael My

Vietnam and Politics.  That's what came to mind in getting to know St. Michael My.  He is not one of the popular saints.  It's my first time even to get to hear his name.  I haven't even found a single photo of him on the internet... but anyway, today is his feast day (August 12).

Let's know a little about him.

Martyr of Vietnam. He was the mayor of a town in Vietnam when the persecution of Christians started. Michael was martyred with Blessed Anthony Dich, his son-in-law, and with St. James Nam. He was canonized in 1988 by Pope John Paul II. (catholic.org)

St. Michael My, pray for us.
