Saint Felix of Valois (†1212), born to French nobility in Valois, embraced a hermit's life in Galie forest. With Saint John of Matha, he co-founded the Trinitarian Order in 1198 to ransom Christian captives. As a priest, he lived with profound austerity, dedicating himself to prayer and charity. Canonized in 1262, his miracles aided the poor. Venerated as a confessor, his legacy endures in the Trinitarian mission. His feast day is November 20.
