Discover the Saints

A perfect gift for your catechists, your families or the children you minister to.

We all want our families to understand the rich spiritual heritage our Saints bring us. 

We created this versatile new book to help everyone discover who saints are, and why they're important to our faith! 31 well-known Saints are featured in this beautiful rich book. With room for prayers and reflection, a child can make their own. This is a lovely way for children to begin picturing and remembering that these saints were once real people too!

Introduce children to the ideas that just like every person is different, every saint is also different. Each saint was an ordinary person with both strengths and weaknesses. Ordinary people become saints by using the gifts and talents God has given them to follow Jesus and to live according to the Gospel.

This versatile resource was created by popular request! Written just for children, yet rich enough to be enjoyed by all ages.

• Use this in preparation for a Saints festival
• For those of you who celebrate the Sacrament of Confirmation in the elementary years, this is a lovely and readable way to help young ones become familiar with the saints and to select a Saint name, if they so choose
• Support ongoing formation of young families by placing this in parent folders to help them discover the saints with their children
• A great and treasured gift for any Sacrament
• Wonderful for those who are new to the parish, placed in a welcome packet
