Footsteps of
American Saints
The NCCS Activities Committee
is proud to announce a new patch activity called the
"Footsteps of American Saints". The Footsteps
of American Saints Activity program is a religious activity
program that encourages youth to learn about several
individuals that have shaped the landscape of Catholicism
in America.
This religious activity honors those men and women who
led heroic lives of faith. Their words, their deeds,
and their devotion to prayer and to the sacraments,
inspire all American Catholics. In the church calendar
for the United States, some have the rank of "Saint"
and are venerated by the universal church. Some have
the rank of "Blessed" and are venerated by
the local church. Some have the rank of "Venerable"
and, while on the way to becoming a "Saint",
may be venerated by Catholics. Most of these men and
women lived and worked in North America in what is now
the United States. Some others never set foot in America,
however they had a huge impact on the Catholic American
landscape. All of them sought to follow Jesus.
The goal of this activity is to share the lives of several
Saints so that the youth might relate to what these
people have done and maybe look to these individuals
as role models.
