"Listen in" as saints tell their stories
of faith and perseverance.

The strength and vigor of the Catholic Church are nowhere more visible than in North and South America, where hundreds of millions of people claim the Catholic faith. Saints of the Americas features thirty heroes of this New World faith, with representatives from fifteen countries in South America, Central America, North America, and the Caribbean.

The faith and perseverance of these martyrs and monks, laypeople and clergy, mystics and activists will encourage people today to make a lasting difference in the world.

Fr. Arturo Perez-Rodriguez is a Chicago priest and a well-known author and speaker on matters of Hispanic spirituality and popular religion in the Catholic context. He is the author of Primero Dios and Praying with the Saints.
Miguel Arias is the senior editor of Spanish media at Loyola Press.
