Saint Spotlight: Maximilian Kolbe

On August 14th, on the Vigil of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Church honors a great saint.

Saint Spotlight: Patrick

March 17th is the feast of Saint Patrick, aka Saint Patrick’s Day.

Even though he’s one of the most popular saints, it seems that many people don’t know the facts about his fascinating life.

I dedicate this Saint Spotlight to: Patrick.

The name Catherine means “pure.”

I chose it for my Confirmation because it’s a family name (but I chose to spell it differently).

Now I like to associate my Confirmation name with St. Catherine because I’m inspired by her story.

This Saint Spotlight is dedicated to: Catherine of Alexandria.

Today, June 22nd the Catholic Church honors two saints: Thomas More and John Fisher.

These friends lived in England in the late 15th and early 16th century.

One was a well-known layman and politician, the other a well-known priest and bishop.

Two years ago, I was introduced to a saint in an unexpected way.

This modern-day saint has a rich and inspirational story.

Today, March 19th is the Solemnity of Saint Joseph, Husband of the Blessed Virgin Mary!

Since St. Joseph was the earthly spouse of Mary, the earthly father of Jesus and the head of the Holy Family, he is of great importance.

He’s also important to my family.

The saints are one of the most beautiful aspects of the Catholic Faith.

We connect to different saints for different reasons.

One saint I’m particularly drawn to is: Bernadette Soubirous.
