June 1-Memorial of Saint Justin, Martyr
Saint Justin Martyr (c. 100–165 AD) was an early Christian writer and Catholic apologist who defended the faith during a time of Roman persecution. An apologist is someone who explains and defends religious beliefs, often correcting misunderstandings or false accusations. Through his detailed writings, St. Justin offered one of the earliest descriptions of Christian worship and teachings, helping reveal the richness and continuity of Catholic tradition.
