Saint of the Week: William Wilberforce 
Thursday, July 30, 2026
The life of William Wilberforce refutes the popular notion that a politician cannot be a saintly Christian, dedicated to the service of humanity. Wilberforce's fame rests upon his persistent, uncompromising, and single-minded crusade for the abolition of slavery and the slave-trade. That sordid traffic was abolished in 1807. He died just one month before Parliament put an end to slavery in the British dominions.
Saint of the Week: John Cassian 
Thursday, July 23, 2026
John Cassian was a fourth-century monk and theologian. His insistence that individual perfection can only be sought in community shaped monastic communities for generations. His theology of asceticism and God's grace expressed a fully human and fully divine view of salvation.

Thursday, July 16, 2026
