Forgotten Catholic Heroes

 General Description:

Michael Genin

Would you be willing to let your children starve before denouncing your Catholic Faith? Do you have the courage to take the place of a galley slave so that he could return to his family, knowing that you will most surely die at sea? Could you hide a priest in your home even though the penalty for such a crime is to be "hanged, drawn, and quartered"?

From the green hills of Ireland to the rugged coastland of Algeria to the war-torn Balkans, ordinary men and women have been willing to take extraordinary risks in order to remain loyal to the one, holy, Catholic, and apostolic Church. Come now and discover the amazing stories of life, death, and allegiance to the Truth tucked within some of the most overlooked chapters of Catholic history. Once you've met these "forgotten heroes" and read their moving and inspirational stories, you'll never take your Faith for granted again.
