Including Feasts Proper to the English-Speaking World.

Since the choice of heroes, models and leaders can have a lasting effect on the development of one’s personality and life, the Church has always placed before the eyes of the faithful the example of holiness set by the saints. This book, should be a welcome addition to the ever increasing number of volumes that treat of the lives of the saints. With the addition of feast days proper to the United States, it is offered to the English-speaking public in the hope that it will foster greater devotion to the saintly men and women who are not only historical figures worthy of our veneration but models worthy of our imitation.
