May 21st is the feastday of Eugène de Mazenod, the Patron Saint of Dysfunctional Families. He was born in Aix-en-Provence to minor nobility who lost their wealth during the Revolution. He preached in Provençal to the common people and eventually became bishop of Marseille.
Who knew there was a saint for families like ours, that put the 'fun' in dysfunctional !?!
