Summary

Please welcome a wonderful guest host this week, Patrick, the founder of SAINT OF THE MONTH! Patrick loves the saints, and he is stopping by to share about his favorite Advent Saints. This coming Advent the Catholic Sprouts Podcast will focus on the JESSE TREE, but we didn't want you to miss these great saints! So listen up, mark your calendars, and strive to be holy like they were!

+ MONDAY: St. Juan Digeo and OLG

+ TUESDAY: St. Lucy

+ WEDNESDAY: St. Nick

+ THURSDAY: St. John of the Cross

+ FRIDAY: St. Andrew

Patrick and Rebecca Pulis own and run Saint of the Month where they lead experiences to foster devotion to the Saints. Whether you discover Saint Francis' great sense of poverty or Mother Teresa's deep "thirst", each box will uncover immense riches about our Catholic faith. Learning about the Saints lives is an excellent way to learn how to walk the path of holiness. Each month they send a box filled with gifts and resources about a different Saint. Boxes are perfect for both adult formation and to share with the whole family. Each week you are prompted with a new goal to challenge you to grow in a specific virtue.
