Send us Fan MailOn the Sunday of All Saints of North America, Fr. Theophan reflects on the holy men and women who brought the light of Christ to this continent and demonstrated that sanctity is not confined to distant lands or ancient times. From the missionaries of Alaska to the faithful witnesses who labored throughout North America, the saints reveal that the Gospel can take root in every culture and every generation.Their lives remind us that holiness is possible here and now.
