Saints are God's gift to all of us. Saints, Our Friends & Teachers is unique because, along with engaging short stories, it provides patterns and simple instructions for making figures of the saints and other characters out of foam.

Every saint has a unique story to share. Introduce intermediate readers to the amazing life stories of the saints.
