Today we honor Venerable Pierre Toussaint, slave, free man, hairdresser and a man of deep charity. Pierre assisted backs and whites in need. He opened his home to orphans and the sick. He became quite successful as a hairdresser but as he grew old and was asked when he would stop working, he replied "I have enough for myself, but if I stop working I have not enough for others.”
