Summary

Who are the real heroes? The saints! This week we have quite the line up for saints celebrating feast days, so let's reflect on their stories and marvel at what it means to be heroes in Christ's army.

+ Monday we explore the story of St. Mary MacKillop (although her feast day is Tuesday). She was the first saint from Australia and faced many hardships.

+ Tuesday we celebrate the feast of St. Dominic. Tune in to hear about his heroic life and the gift of the Rosary which Mary handed to him from heaven.

+ Wednesday is the feast day of St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross (Edith Stein). She is the patron saint of this month in the BE A SAINT KID's Club and a wonderful example of heroic love during a terrible moment in history.

+ Thursday is the feast day of St. Lawerence, a hero from the early Church.

+ Friday is the feast day of St. Clare of Assisi. This stubborn, wonderful saint stood up to a barbarian army when she was too sick to get out of bed. amazing.
