About
St. Genesius was a Roman actor who experienced a profound conversion while performing a play mocking Christian baptism before Emperor Diocletian. As he acted out the role of a Christian catechumen, the grace of God touched his heart, and he proclaimed his newfound faith in Christ before the emperor and the audience. Refusing to renounce his belief, he was arrested, tortured, and martyred for his confession of faith. His story reminds us of God’s power to transform even the most unlikely hearts. Lived: 3rd century | Feast Day: August 25 | Canonized: Pre-Congregation Patronage: Actors, comedians, clowns, dancers, and lawyers.
