The Young and the Restless: Learning from the Example of Young Saints and Their Witnesses

Scripture encourages us to constantly learn and grow from the wisdom of the ‘cloud of witnesses’ of our faith. Saints offer us an opportunity to learn from their previous witness how to come to know our true self through the challenges of the world. This session will specifically examine the lives of young saints who modeled Christian sacredness through their life such as: Agatha, Carlos Acutis, Chiara Badano, Dominic Savio, José Sánchez del Río, and Maria Goretti. Activity ideas for the classroom will also be offered.

The presenter is Dr. Thomas Malewitz, Asst. Professor/Dir. Ed.D: Leadership Program, Spalding University.
