Jude Winkler, OFM. Conv. introduces Catholic children to 15 beloved figures of the Americas, 13 Saints and two \"Blesseds.\" \u003cbr\u003e The Saints of the Americas are holy people who lived in North, Central, and South America, and they dedicated their lives to loving and serving God. These saints come from different places and backgrounds, but they all shared a deep faith and helped others in amazing ways. \u003cbr\u003e One of the most well-known is \u003cb\u003eSt. Juan Diego\u003c\/b\u003e from Mexico. In 1531, the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to him as \u003cb\u003eOur Lady of Guadalupe\u003c\/b\u003e, asking him to build a church. He shared Mary's message, and today, Our Lady of Guadalupe is a powerful symbol of love and hope for many Catholics. \u003cbr\u003e Another important saint is \u003cb\u003eSt. Kateri Tekakwitha\u003c\/b\u003e, who was born in what is now the United States. She was the first Native American saint. Kateri dedicated her life to prayer and caring for others, showing great faith despite facing many challenges. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSt. Martin de Porres\u003c\/b\u003e was born in Peru and is known for his humility and love for the poor. He cared for the sick and shared everything he had with those in need. \u003cbr\u003e There is also \u003cb\u003eSt. Rose of Lima\u003c\/b\u003e, the first saint from the Americas, who also lived in Peru. She devoted her life to prayer, helping the poor, and caring for animals. \u003cbr\u003e These saints of the Americas show us that no matter where we live, we can all serve God by loving others, being kind, and sharing our faith. They are examples of how to live holy lives close to Jesus. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Figures included in this edition are: \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e St. Juan Diego \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e St. Rose of Lima \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e St. Martin de Porres \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e St. Peter Claver \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e St. Isaac Jogues \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e St. Kateri Tekakwitha \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e St. Junipero Serra \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e St. Elizabeth Ann Seton \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e St. Miguel Cordero \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e St. John Neumann \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e St. Mariana of Quito \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e St. Frances Xavier Cabrini \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Bl.
