A. This saint was bishop of Constantinople, f and is one of the doctors of the Church. His willingness to challenge
the wealthy and powerful in Constantinople got him exiled. There was an earthquake the day he was exiled,
which was seen as a sign of God’s wrath. He was brought back and continued to challenge those in power, which
got him exiled a second time.
B. This man was in El Salvador and originally expected to be a bishop who would not do much to “rock the boat”.
The dictatorship in El Salvador was so oppressive that he saw many people, including his fellow priests, being
killed. If you gave those executed a Christian burial, you could be killed as punishment. This outraged the bishop,
causing him to be a major voice for the poor of his country. Eventually, he was assassinated while saying Mass.
C. A convert from atheism, this woman founded the Catholic Worker Movement, which was involved in providing
shelter to the homeless, and protesting injustices against the poor, war, discrimination, etc.
D. An Irishman and third order Franciscan, this man went from being an alcohol to a devout Catholic, living a life of
extreme sacrifice, simplicity, and prayer. His story helped to inspire the Pioneer Total Abstinence Association, in
which hundreds of thousands of people have pledged to completely avoid drugs and alcohol.
E. A third order Dominican who saw visions from an early age, including one in which she saw heaven, hell, and
purgatory and was commanded to begin a public life. In doing so, she worked trying to resolve differences and
secure peace between Italian city-states. She even told the pope, Gregory XI, to leave Avignon, France, and return
the papacy to Rome.
F. An Albanian woman who founded the Missionaries of Charity, a group which administered to the most poor,
destitute, and dying in India. She won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979 and was also noted for her defense of the
unborn.
G. A Jesuit priest who was one of the most famous opponents of the Vietnam War. He has written dozens of books,
but his most famous action was pouring napalm (a highly flammable liquid used on civilians in Vietnam) on draft
files and serving time in jail for it.
H. This woman was one of the closest followers of Jesus, who was present both at the crucifixion and at the empty
tomb on Easter Sunday. In John’s Gospel, she was the first person commissioned by Jesus to spread the news of
His resurrection.
I. A bishop in fourth century Asia Minor, he was known as much for his skills in debate as his extreme charity. He
is considered one of the founders of monasticism and he gave all his wealth to the poor, even building an entire
city for them.
J. A man who persecuted the church for a long time, including being present at the stoning of Steven, the Church’s
first martyr. After being knocked off his horse and seeing a vision of Jesus, he became one of the leaders of the
early church. He established several churches and the letters he wrote to them, clarifying teachings and giving
advice, became part of the New Testament.
K. Seen as the leader of the apostles, he was the most vocal of the Twelve. When Jesus asked “Who do you say that I
am?”, he said “the Messiah, the Son of God.” He was praised for this, but reprimanded for telling Jesus not to be
crucified. He promised he would die for Jesus, but then denied him three times. Eventually, around 64 AD, he
was martyred in Rome, being crucified upside down.
L. This saint was enslaved by Irish pirates at the age of 16. After six years of servitude he escaped, but later became
a priest and returned to Ireland to convert its people to Christianity. He was named its second bishop and is the
country’s patron saint.
M. This saint is the one who probably receives the most attention and veneration in Christianity. When asked to be
the mother of the messiah, she told the angel, Gabriel, she would be willing to do it, without any question of the
possible consequences or risks. She raised Jesus and was a faithful follower throughout His entire ministry.
N. This lay woman, born in Connecticut, did missionary work in El Salvador with St. Dorothy Kazel, Sr. Maura
Clarke, and St. Ita Ford, providing food, shelter, transportation to medical care, and burying those killed by the
country’s death squads. After seeing their bishop assassinated, they remained in the country until, eight months
later, they were kidnapped, raped, and murdered.
O. This man raised Jesus, along with Mary, and obediently married Mary (despite not being Jesus’ father), left for
Egypt when asked to, returned to Israel, again at the command of an angel.
P. This man was a scholar an author, and a reformer, who lived in England during the time of the Protestant
Reformation. He was a member of Parliament and rose to the position of Lord Chancellor under King Henry VIII.
When he refused to support Henry’s bid for a divorce and subsequent refusal to recognize the pope’s authority, he
was arrested, spent 15 months in prison, and was executed for treason.
Q. Living near the Jordan River at the time of Jesus, this first century prophet lived a life of simplicity in the desert,
preaching to people a message of repentance, forgiveness and generosity. Jesus referred to him as the greatest
person on earth. After criticizing King Herod for having an unlawful marriage, he was imprisoned and beheaded.
R. Often equated with the “Beloved Disciple” of the Fourth Gospel, this apostle was the only one courageous enough
to be at the foot of the cross. (Being a known friend of a convicted opponent of Caesar could result in crucifixion.)
He is also traditionally credited with writing the Fourth Gospel and three New Testament letters, although these
were likely written by people who were converted as a result of him.
S. Although this man managed his family’s slaves in his early adulthood, he had a conversion and became the most
vocal defender of Native Americans, spending over 50 years writing letters and books in their defense, traveling
to Spain, and teaching the Native Americans about Christ in a kind, respectful way.
T. A Franciscan with a doctorate in theology, he created a magazine, “The Knight of the Immaculata” and formed a
community of 800 men, and then other communities in Japan and India. He was twice imprisoned by the Nazis, at
Auschwitz the second time. When one person escaped, ten were to be killed as punishment. This person took the
place of a man with eight children.
U. A fourth century bishop in the city of Myra (in current day Turkey) whose generosity has made him famous
around the world. He helped the poor, sometimes (possibly to spare them the humiliation of receiving charity or
to not gain credit himself) by placing money in an open window at night.
V. This widow and mother of five converted to Catholicism at the age of 30, during a time of great anti-Catholicism
in this country. She left a life of privilege to begin the Sisters of Charity, an order dedicated to the education of
poor immigrant children. The system of parochial schools she established became the basis for Catholic grammar
schools in the U.S.
