The Gaucho Priest: Free Coloring Page of Saint Jose Gabriel del Rosario Brochero

As my family tree is rooted in Argentina, I was elated to hear of Argentina's first saint to be canonized, Blessed Jose Gabriel del Rosario Brochero.

This remarkably humble priest was known for traveling extensively on his mule throughout Argentina to serve the poor and ill of his enormous parish. Always, he carried with him an image of the Virgin Mary, his Mass kit, and a prayer book.

Today, Pope Francis will officially canonize this "gaucho priest" ("gaucho" is Argentina's variation of the cowboy).

And so, of course, we must have a free coloring page for San Jose Gabriel del Rosario Brochero!

Here you go. Download it from this link.

Pope Francis Coloring Page: Habemus Papem!

In celebration of the new Catholic pontiff, Pope Francis (the former Jesuit Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio), I drew a coloring page to share. And, yes, I would've done so even if the new pope weren't Argentine. (But he is! Hooray!)

To print the picture out, just click on the little printer icon in the gray bar below the pic. Also... If you're curious about what I've been up to, let me tell you that I've been drawing oodles for work. You can find more about that here. Peace and blessings! Vee
