In honor of today's Solemnity of All Saints', tonight's monthly Catholicism 101 class was about saints. If you missed it you can check out this info on how saints are canonized. We also talked about two particular people: St. Damien of Molokai and Bl. Chiara "Luce" Badano. Click on their names to find out info on them and watch the videos below. The most recent saints to be canonized are St. Mary MacKillop, St. Andre Bessette, St. Camilla Batista Varano, St. Stanislaw Stoltis, St. Guilia Salzano, St. Juana Cipitria Barriola. These six were canonized on October 17, 2010. Read more about these saints here and read Pope Benedict's homily from the canonization Mass here.
I enjoyed Catholicism 101. These saints really help our generation relate to sainthood and holiness in the 21st century! Espescially St. Chiara.:) Pray for us!
