    EWTN host explores the backstory of the ‘Good Thief’

    • Feb 22, 2021

    Raymond Arroyo admits, and he suspects many other Catholics are in the same boat, that for a long time all he knew of Dismas, also known as the Good Thief, was that he was one of the men that walked with and was crucified next to Jesus.

    Children’s book chronicling saints’ lives shows they were ‘relentlessly human’

    • Jan 17, 2021

    Carey Wallace’s new children’s book, “Stories of the Saints: Bold and Inspiring Tales of Adventure, Grace and Courage,” shows that holy men and women — whose miraculous deeds, charitable works and battles with armies, beasts and demons she chronicles with gusto — also were what Wallace calls “relentlessly human.”
