Kristina and Elissa received another special request: this week, we will be learning the story of St. Dorothy of Kashin, who lived in the ruins!

On Sunday we commemorate St. Mary of Egypt, whose life was not always saintly. That’s why she is such a favorite in the Church, actually—she is a wonderful example of how we can turn our lives around when we truly repent.
