    About this ebook

    Thousands of saints are formally recognized by the Catholic Church. While some are household names, have you heard of:

    - St. Bathilde, the slave queen?
    - St. Pietro Parenzo, the heavenly politician?
    - BI. Sebastian de Aparicio, the first cowboy?
    - St. Mary Helen MacKillop, the excommunicated saint?

    From these now-obscure saints or blesseds come amazing stories of virtue, vice, and the triumph of grace. Brian O'Neel tells these tales, often colorful and always compelling, with humor tempered by an obvious love for his subjects, explaining why they deserve our attention and devotion.

      A Pained Intuition and a Palpable Longing: Katie Ford on Theology, Poetry, and the Unknowable

      Sep 13, 2018

      If You Have to Go, the new collection of poems by Katie Ford, is a book that conjures powers of possession. I feel that way about all of her books: Her poems bring me to a mystical plane somewhere between language and life. I’m left shaken. Her willi

      Who Wants To Be A Catholic?

      Feb 7, 2024

      I spent five long years at a strict Paris convent boarding school studying l’histoire de l’église. This failed to engage my attention all that time. The Middle Ages seemed interminable and monotonous, and 12 was far too young to be reading Montaigne.
