  The 27-year-old St. Francis de Sales and his cousin, Canon Louis de Sales,
  pray to the Guardian Angel of the diocese as they enter the Calvinist district
  of the Chablais on their great mission of conversion. Louis returned home
  because of a critical lack of funds, and St. Francis then continued on alone.
  (Louis was to succeed St. Francis de Sales as Bishop of Geneva.)
