John was born at Capistrano in the Abruzzi region of Italy in the year 1386. He studied law at Perugia, and in due course exercised the office of judge. Having entered the Order of Friars Minor, and been ordained priest, he carried on a tireless apostolate throughout the whole of Europe in order to strengthen the Christians and to debate with the heretics. He died at Ilok in Croatia in 1456. He was canonized in 1724.
