Patron Saints for Catholic Kids

There Was a Saint Like You! 

God has called people from every nation, every age, and every situation to follow Him and become Saints. Patron Saints for Kids will introduce your child to 100 incredible saints. Learn their stories and discover how they experienced and loved many of the same things that fill our lives! 

Patron Saints for Kids is perfect for Catholic children in elementary school. 

Young children will love the colorful images of each saint, the short, vivid stories, and the powerful prayers that allow children to seek the intercession of each Saint.

Help Your Child Connect with the Saints

Give your child the gift of a patron Saint! 

Connecting with the Saints in a personal way strengthens our faith and increases our longing for heaven. This happens because the Saints become our friends. The Saints inspire us, pray for us, and lead us closer to Jesus. Our children can experience these benefits of connecting with the Saints as well. Patron Saints for Kids was written to help forge friendships between Catholic Kids and the Communion of Saints. 

It is our prayer that the stories and images in Patron Saints for Kids inspire this generation to pursue holiness through the intercession of the holy men and women who already dwell in paradise.

The Saints and Teaching the Faith

Sharing the lives of the saints with your children is one of the best (and easiest) ways to teach the Faith in your home. 

In the Saints, your children will SEE what it means to follow Jesus and live for heaven. The stories of the Saints also challenge us (parents and kids!) to resist sin and pursue virtue. 

If you are new to teaching the Catholic Faith or struggling to believe you are qualified to teach your children the Faith, we encourage you to lean on the Saints. Simply pick up a book, like Patron Saints for Kids, and read the stories aloud. Learn about these holy men and women together and discuss with your children how you can become more like the Saints.

Old Friends and New Faces

Patron Saints for Kids features the stories and faces of Saints you’ve known for years, as well as Saints that are new to us here at Catholic Sprouts. Allow the stories here to pull you into closer relationships with the Saints you already know and love, and also help you discover new friends in heaven.

• Confession: St. John Vianney
• Reading the Bible: St. Jerome

The Best Stories for Our Kids

Our kids are bombarded with stories. Help them identify the most powerful stories: the stories of the Saints pursing holiness!

The lives of the Saints show us what it looks like to follow Jesus in real life. Each Saint lived in a different time and faced different circumstances. Therefore, no matter who we are (or who our kids are) the lives of the Saints offer us models of courage, prayer, and love that we can imitate as we strive to follow Christ as well.
