Description

The Saints Chronicles bring vividly to life the stories of courageous Christians from the earliest days of Christianity to modern times. This Graphic Novel Series is packed with engaging texts and dramatic images that captivate and inspire readers of all ages.

In collections 1-5, you’ll dive into the life of Christianity’s boldest heroes of the Faith, including:

• St. Patrick, a young boy captured by Irish pirates and made a slave, only to escape and later return to convert all of pagan Ireland to Christianity.
• St. Nicholas, the orphaned boy who generously ministered to the sick and the poor, and eventually became the wise and just bishop of Myra.
• St. Anthony of Padua, the brilliant young Franciscan friar whose deepest desire was to be a martyr for Christ.
• St. Willibrord, the bold and fearless missionary priest who converted the people of the Netherlands despite the murderous threats of a hostile pagan king;
• Pope St. Celestine V, the humble hermit who was named the head of the Catholic Church — and was the first pope to resign from his position.
• And many more: St. Jerome Emiliani, St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, St. Henry Morse, St. Joan of Arc, St. Francis of Assisi, St. Brigid of Ireland, St. Pachomius, St. Anne Line, St. Ava, St. Samson, St. Bernadette, St. Charles Lwanga, St. Margaret of Scotland, St. Stanislaus, St. Rose of Lima, St. Dominic, St. Ignatius of Loyola, St. Clare, St. Germaine of Pibrac, and St. Vincent de Paul.

The stirring adventures of these brave Christian souls remind us that God has in mind for each of us a unique mission, worthy of all our imagination and all our daring.
