Saint Alan of the Rock
(aka St. Alan, Bl. Alain de la Roche, Bl. Alanus de Rupe, Bl. Alan)
Born: Sept 8, 1428 in Brittany, France
Died: Sept 8, 1475 in Zwolle, Netherlands
Dominican priest who was a brilliant theologian and preacher. Reknown for reinstituting the Most Holy Rosary and confraternities during a time in history when the world was going all awry and the Most Holy Rosary was in danger of being lost in history. As was his predecessor, St. Dominic, St. Alan was given the 15 Promises from the Blessed Mother and we have them to this very day. Just go to youtube.com and type in "Blessed Alan" and watch a beautiful video.
Then don't forget to pray the rosary each day!
As St. Alan was only recently canonized, most don't know that he is a Saint! Now you do, and you can spread the word! By the way, if you pray to St. Alan, he answers prayers REALLY FAST!! If anyone gives you trouble about this fact just tell them to read the name on the church in the picture of the following website:

If that doesn't work...have them contact me here!
Thank you for posting this wonderful site!
Yours in Christ and the Most Holy Rosary,
Elizabeth
