[“The Loyola Treasury of Saints”](https://www.amazon.com/Loyola-Treasury-Saints-David-Self/dp/0829417850): By far the largest and longest book in our basket this month, “The Loyola Treasury of Saints” (Loyola Press, $28.95) is a gem. [“Lily Lolek, Future Saint”](https://tanbooks.com/products/books/kids/toddler/lily-lolek-future-saint/) by Katie Warner: With bright, colorful illustrations and engaging rhyme, “Lily Lolek, Future Saint” (TAN, $16.95) is sure to capture the imagination of younger and older kids alike. [“I’m a Saint in the Making”](https://www.amazon.com/Im-Saint-Making-Lisa-Hendey/dp/1640601635/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2N3R8EJZT4T67&keywords=i%27m+a+saint+in+the+making&qid=1667191716&qu=eyJxc2MiOiIwLjE0IiwicXNhIjoiMC4wNyIsInFzcCI6IjAuMDAifQ%3D%3D&s=books&sprefix=i%27m+a+saint+%2Cstripbooks%2C91&sr=1-1) by Lisa Hendey: This lovely book is another title we love from Lisa Hendey. In addition to teaching about the saints themselves, “I’m a Saint in the Making” (Paraclete Press, $14.99) puts the focus on the ways that all of us are called to be saints. [“Light of Heaven: A Children’s Book of Saints”](https://osvcatholicbookstore.com/product/light-of-heaven-a-children-s-book-of-saints) by Adalee Hude: For a short introduction to some of the Catholic Church’s best-loved men and women, you can’t beat Adalee Hude’s “Light of Heaven” (OSV, $16.95). May these books help your family learn and grow as you work toward Heaven! Written by the author of “The Mindful Catholic” and his wife, the Bottarros use stories about the saints to introduce children to breathing and relaxation techniques. As the title suggests, these books present the saints as akin to superheroes — full of the gifts and talents from God that help them fight evil and fulfill their purpose in life. [“Sitting Like a Saint”](https://www.wellspringbooks.org/products/sitting-like-a-saint) by Dr. In honor of All Saints’ Day, I like to use the month of November to introduce my kids to new saints. [“Saints Around the World”](https://saintsaroundtheworld.com/) by Meg Hunter-Kilmer: Meg Hunter-Kilmer is well known and loved on social media for her eloquent and educational posts about obscure saints, and in this children’s book, she pulls all of that knowledge together with a talent for bringing the information down to a child’s level without dumbing it down. Reading is one of my favorite ways to sprinkle liturgical living into our everyday life.

A different look at Parisian cemeteries on All Saints Day (TheMayorEU)

More than 200,000 visitors are expected to pay tribute to dearly departed ones, but in the French capital some of these spots are also famous tourist sites.

It is for example in the Parisian cemeteries outside the walls that we now find hedgehogs, tawny owls and even foxes! Covering an area of 43 hectares, it is to date the largest intramural green space in the capital. That day is thus a good opportunity to visit cemeteries and pay respect to the memory of dead people.

Here’s what they said.](/faith/2022/10/31/catholic-teen-response-church-244049) [In Salem, the witch trials are gone—but the tourists aren’t. The simple faith and powerlessness of saints like these is something I try to remember on All Saints’ Day—they weren’t famous or influential in their time, just like most of us. (It also meant that their stories were nothing if not poorly documented.) But looking back on that, I can either see my need to make things difficult for myself with little information to research, or note the profound statement that my choice of these women makes about Catholic sainthood.
