In a recent article, Cardinal José Saraiva Martins, Prefect of the Congregation for the Causes of Saints, wrote that:

"To understand the Church, we need to be acquainted with the saints who are her most eloquent sign, her sweetest fruit. To contemplate the face of Christ in the changing, diversified situations of the modern world we must look at the saints who are "the living reflection of the face of Christ", as [Pope John Paul II] reminds us. The Church must proclaim the saints and she must do so in the name of that proclamation of holiness that fills her and makes her, precisely, a means of sanctification in the world."

All students are required to read the Saint biography assigned at their grade level.  If desired, please contact the school directly to arrange to borrow school copies.
