Saints in the Making - St. Teresa of Calcutta, St. Padre Pio, and the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary

Saints in the Making, our monthly saint segment here on FaithWorks.   We'll dive into the lives of saints who inspire us to live with purpose, faith, and love. Each month, we’ll highlight saints whose feast days fall within the month, exploring their incredible stories, virtues, and the lessons they offer for our own lives. 

In this episode of Saints in the Making, we’re turning our hearts toward three powerful September feast days that call us to deeper love, humility, and trust in God. We’ll reflect on the life and legacy of St. Teresa of Calcutta, whose radical love for the poor still shakes the world; St. Padre Pio, a mystic and confessor whose sufferings united him intimately with Christ; and finally, the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, a celebration of hope, promise, and the dawn of our salvation.

Rob is a local Catholic author and speaker who has a passion for spreading the joy of the Catholic faith through teaching and is a lifelong student of the saints. Together, we’ll unpack their inspiring legacies and offer practical ways to bring the spirit of these saints into your home and heart.

Saints in the Making - St. John Vianney, St. Claire of Assissi, and St. Maximillian Kolbe

Saints in the Making, our brand-new monthly segment here on FaithWorks.   We'll dive into the lives of saints who inspire us to live with purpose, faith, and love. Each month, we’ll highlight saints whose feast days fall within the month, exploring their incredible stories, virtues, and the lessons they offer for our own lives. 

In this episode of Saints in the Making, we’ll take a closer look at three powerful witnesses: St. John Vianney, the humble priest of Ars who brought thousands back to the faith through confession and prayer; St. Clare of Assisi, who gave up wealth for a life of poverty and devotion to Christ; and St. Maximilian Kolbe, who offered his life in place of another at Auschwitz. Their stories remind us that sainthood isn’t just for a few—it’s a call for all of us.
