Saints Profiles

Peter Fournier and Catherine Fournier

Brief histories of the life of a saint, most in three accounts; for young families (children 0-8), for practiced families (children 8-14), and experienced families (children 14-adult). The Vatican Council II states: "The authentic devotion to the Saints consists . . . greater intensity of our love, whereby for our own greater good and that of the whole Church, we seek from the Saints examples in their way of life, fellowship in their communion, and aid by their intercession."
