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.

Saint Spotlight: Gianna Beretta Molla
Two years ago, I was introduced to a saint in an unexpected way.
This modern-day saint has a rich and inspirational story.
Saint Spotlight: Joseph
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.
Saint Spotlight: Bernadette Soubirous
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.
Saint Spotlight: Paula and Eustochium
One day, my friend and I were trying to find out who helped St. Jerome translate the scriptures into Latin…
I stumbled across this information while searching for a saint to write about, not while searching for an answer to our question!
Soon after this discovery, I found images of these saints in my friend’s photos.
Because there are so many connections, it seems this information was revealed for a purpose.
I believe that I’m meant to write about these saints.
This Saint Spotlight is dedicated to: Paula and Eustochium.

Saint Spotlight: Nicholas of Myra
My godmother recently gave me a book called The True Saint Nicholas written by William J. Bennett
Inspired by the book, and using information from it, I dedicate this post to Saint Nicholas of Myra.
A New Series
I was recently inspired to begin a new series on my blog!
Since I enjoy learning about the saints, and they’re an important part of the Catholic Faith, I decided to create a series for them.
The new series is called Saint Spotlight.
In this series I’ll highlight a saint for a specific purpose. It will most likely be a saint whose feast is celebrated in the current month.
I’ll describe the life of the saint and provide interesting information that I find.
I’ll choose saints from different time periods and walks of life, some well-known and some obscure.
Today I’ll present a saint I recently learned about: Frances Xavier Cabrini.
