Among all the saints, we have a class of heroic saints who have been recognized in particular, through God’s grace, for their outstanding sufferings that materialized their desire for a Catholic order or Congregation that simply didn’t exist yet.
Catholic Orders and Congregations that have benefited humankind throughout the centuries.
I have personally benefited by some of these wonderful men and women and from experience know the great effort it takes to start and maintain a new endeavor, not to mention persevering in it through all the mortification and pains it may bring with it.
Therefore, we’ve created this compilation in honor of these accomplished saints. That more glory may be to them, through Christ Our Lord and his blessed Mother.
