"Our Lord has written the promise of resurrection, not in books alone, but in every leaf in springtime." – Martin Luther King Jr.

At this special time of year, we have books to inspire and delight you. Accompany your little ones 'On the Road to Emmaus' or through 'Via Lucis: The Way of the Light'. Or perhaps, reflect with Fr Michael on the Gospel resurrection narratives in 'Alive'.

Blessed Stephen Sandor

Blessed Stephen Sandor

Date: 8th June 2020

Stephen came from a poor family and trained as a printer in a Salesian vocational school in Budapest. He became a Salesian brother, and in addition to training apprentices, he supported them in their religious faith.

As the times became increasingly dangerous for priests and religious in Hungary, he was urged to flee the country, but he remained in order to continue his Salesian vocation with young people in secret, and after the Association of Young Catholic Workers was banned, he worked to reorganise groups. He was arrested with other priests and young people, and sentenced to death by hanging.

His family were not informed of his execution for several years.
