Father Chris Alar, MIC, explains the Catholic teaching concerning our devotion to the saints — those who, through their union with God and by the grace of Christ, have been rewarded with eternal life.

In 1061, Richeldis, a widow in Little Walsingham in Norfolk, England, prayed to Our Lady asking how she could honor her in some special way. Mary led Richeldis in spirit to Nazareth and showed her the House of the Annunciation, and asked that she build one just like it in Walsingham. Father Chris Alar, MIC, explains how Walsingham became a major pilgrimage site. Then hear how a personal journey of loss led Kara Palladino to support other mothers experiencing a heartbreaking cross of their own.

Few people know that outside the United States, the most popular saint in the world is St. George! Why? Was the story of him slaying a dragon real? Why is he honored in Islam? Hear Fr. Chris Alar tell this incredible story of the saint you need to know more about, because the rest of the world does.
