The only collection of its kind, Saints of North America uses a month-by-month format based on the Church’s liturgical calendar. Here, for each entry, are:

• A fascinating biography

• The places with which the person is associated

• His or her particular ministry, spirituality, and accomplishments

• The location of a national shrine or headquarters established by those devoted to the saint.

Take a moment to peruse through a few pages, and you are bound to recognize some old "friends." Look a little closer, read a bit more, and you are sure to meet some new ones.
