Together, we will walk through the Scriptures, the lives of the saints, the mystery of suffering, and the Church’s witness across the ages. The winter season will focus on five Americans who are at different stages of the Church’s process of canonization, whose lives show us that sanctity is possible even in our own time and place.
With permission from ecclesiastical authorities to open a cause for canonization, Chris Vander Woude reflects on the life and heroic death of his father, Thomas Vander Woude (†2008). Through personal witness, Chris invites us to consider holiness lived quietly, faithfully, and to the end.
