0:07.6	the Daily Podcasts
0:09.4	the daily podcast for Catholic kids
0:13.5	that strives to plant seeds of faith.
0:29.4	Hey there's sprouts. Today is Friday, January 10th, 2020. Today is also the feast day of St. Paul the Hermit. My name is Avery Hizka, and I'm the owner and designer at Angelico Design Co.
0:36.1	I'm thrilled to be with you this week on the Catholic
0:38.7	Sprouts podcast where we are discussing saints who are also royalty. Today is our last day in that
0:45.4	series and we're going to be talking about a queen and an amazing saint who helped spread
0:50.5	Christianity all over the Roman Empire, St. Helena of Constantinople.

1:53.1	his faith. He even passed a law called the Edict of Milan that made it legal to be a Christian in the Roman
1:59.9	Empire. Constantine gave Helena the title
