Roman Catholic Saint. St. Vincent Ferrer was a Dominican priest and missionary. He was a celebrated preacher who converted thousands of people to Christianity during his various tours across Europe.

He was often followed by large crowds of penitents, which often numbered in the thousands. Although greatly admired by many people, St. Vincent continued to observe an austere life of prayer and fasting.
