This biographical resource gives children Christian role models that they can emulate. This volume presents eighteen people from varied backgrounds, saints who give today’s youth a relevant, inspiring, enduring message of faith and love. This resource is divided into two sections. One explores the lives of people from past ages whose actions are still relevant to today’s young people; the other examines saintly people who lived during the twentieth century.

Lessons are self-contained and center on a specific value. The easy-to-use lesson plans include objectives, notes to the teacher, step-by-step procedures, a reproducible biography of each saint, and additional reproducible activity sheets that illustrate how values are shown in the saints’ lives and how those values relate to students’ lives.

The saints in this volume include St. Augustine, St. Bernadette Soubirous, St. Brigid of Ireland, St. Catherine of Siena, St. Elizabeth Seton, St. Frances Cabrini, St. Francis of Assisi, St. John Bosco, Blessed Kateri Tekakwitha, St. Peter Claver, St. Philip Neri, St. Therese of Liseux, Dorothy Day, Jean Donovan, Tom Dooley, Pope John XXIII, Oscar Romero, and Mother Teresa of Calcutta.
