Featured Saint
St. Josephine Bakhita
Virgin, Religious Sister (Canossian Daughters of Charity), Patroness of Sudan and South Sudan, Patroness of Trafficking Survivors
Kidnapped and enslaved as a child in Sudan, so traumatized she forgot her own birth name, Bakhita endured years of brutal abuse before finding freedom, faith, and religious life in Italy — and became one of the clearest living proofs that forgiveness can outlast even the worst evil done to a person.

St. Thérèse of Lisieux
Virgin, Doctor of the Church, "The Little Flower of Jesus", Co-Patroness of the Missions
A cloistered Carmelite nun who died at 24 having never left her convent or done anything the world would call remarkable, Thérèse became one of the most beloved and influential saints of modern times through her 'Little Way' — doing the smallest ordinary acts with total love and total trust in God's mercy.
St. Thomas Aquinas
Priest, Dominican Friar, Doctor of the Church ("Angelic Doctor", "Common Doctor")
Born to a noble family that wanted him to become a powerful abbot, Thomas defied them to join the new, controversial mendicant Dominican order — going on to become the greatest systematic theologian in Church history, before a mystical experience near the end of his life led him to call all his vast writing 'straw' compared to what he had seen of God.
