Featured Saint
St. Maximilian Kolbe
Priest, Franciscan Friar, Martyr of Charity
A Franciscan priest and pioneering Catholic media pioneer, Kolbe was arrested by the Nazis for hiding refugees and publishing against the regime — and in Auschwitz, volunteered to die in place of a stranger, a husband and father, condemned to a starvation cell.

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. Teresa of Calcutta
Religious Sister, Founder of the Missionaries of Charity, "Mother Teresa"
Born Anjezë Gonxhe Bojaxhiu to an Albanian family, she left a stable teaching order to found the Missionaries of Charity, dedicating her life to 'the poorest of the poor' on the streets of Calcutta — becoming, in her own lifetime, perhaps the most recognized face of Christian charity in the modern world.
