Additional information

A beautifully illustrated collection of the stories of the Saints the whole Circle of relatives will love — by father and daughter writing team, John and Catherine Cavadini, with stunning portraits by Anastassia Cassady.

This collection,

Saints: A Circle of relatives Story, is composed of stories the authors have written for their own children and grandchildren and friends. They’re adapted from Scripture, from original sources within the Tradition, and from the writings of the saints themselves or their friends and family. The saints are presented as a “Circle of relatives,” living in various times and places. Just think: many of these saints learned to love and to live the faith through the witness of their parents and grandparents or their brothers and sisters. Other saints form spiritual families, with connections between them found across the centuries.

The stories begin with Pope St. John Paul II because he referred to as the Church today to sanctity by giving us the gift of increasingly more saints. The stories then move chronologically, from stories of saints in the Gospels, to martyrs, confessors and ascetics of the early Church, to saints of the medieval period, and to more up to date saints, like Ven. Augustus Tolton, Bl. Pier Giorgio Frassati and St. Teresa of Calcutta.

Through the stories of these saints, we receive new brothers and sisters, moms and dads, grandmothers and grandfathers in the faith. Every person’s life tells the “story” of God’s love in a unique and unrepeatable way. The illustrations bring shape and color to these stories, capturing the true diversity a number of the magnificent and beautiful “Circle of relatives of saints.”
