St. Charles of Mount Argus (1821-1893) was born as Johannes Andreas Houben in the Netherlands. He joined the Passionist order in 1845 and was ordained a priest in 1850. He spent much of his life as a priest and a hospital chaplain in England, Ireland, and Belgium.
In 1856, he was sent to the Passionist monastery at Mount Argus in Dublin, Ireland. He quickly became known for his holiness and his devotion to the sick and dying. He spent many hours each day hearing confessions, ministering to the sick, and offering comfort to those in distress.
St. Charles had a special gift for healing and was known for his miracles. He became known as the "Miracle Worker of Dublin" and many people came to him seeking a cure for their illnesses.
He died on January 5, 1893, and was buried at the Passionist monastery in Mount Argus. He was beatified by Pope John Paul II in 1988 and canonized by Pope Benedict XVI in 2007.
Today, St. Charles of Mount Argus is remembered for his deep devotion to God and his compassionate care for the sick and suffering. His feast day is celebrated on January 5.
