Saint:
Venerable Matt Talbot
Status: never made it to Saint but was a real devotee
to Catholicism
First Sighted:
1856
Last Sighted: 1925
Description: Young Matt started working in wine bottling stores at the
age of 12 and very quickly became an alcoholic. To kick the habit he
started
at the age of 28 to pray and attend daily mass. It worked as he never
touched alcohol again. He was so holy that he wore chains all the time
to make
his life more painful.
