Saints of the Beatitudes Collection
Liguori teamed with Catholic educator Barbara Yoffie to develop the Saints and Me! series of parish booklets to bring the real-life stories of saints to developing minds. Children ages 4-9 will enjoy the colorful illustrations and captivating stories that teach valuable lessons of faith from their inspirational lives. The series is divided into six collections, some of which offer a matching activity book to add to the fun.
In the new Saints of the Beatitudes collection of eight booklets, children will learn about the beatitudes, or blessings, that Jesus gave us in his Sermon on the Mount. This collection features Saints Patrick, Jude, Monica and Augustine, Faustina Kowalska, Bernadette Soubirous, Katharine Drexel, Pope John XXIII, and Carlo Acutis, who is set to be canonized in 2025. Booklets are available individually or as a set.
