🌟 Program Overview
Most of us know the famous saints — Francis, Anthony, Teresa — but countless quiet saints have shaped spiritual history in powerful yet hidden ways. Their lives, full of unusual stories, radical compassion, and everyday holiness, offer guidance that speaks directly to modern struggles: feeling overwhelmed, losing clarity, seeking peace, or rediscovering purpose.
Walking with the Quiet Saints is a gentle yearlong program that introduces you to lesser-known saints whose wisdom, courage, and spiritual insight have often been overlooked. Each month we explore a different obscure saint whose life holds a unique lesson for how to live with more intention, peace, compassion, and spiritual groundedness.
Every class includes:
A teaching on a lesser-known saint
A life lesson or spiritual practice drawn from their story
A simple interfaith prayer or meditation
Time for reflection and healing
🌿 Monthly Saints & Themes
(Obscure, meaningful, and deeply human — each offering a life lesson for spiritual growth)
January 4 — St. Zdislava of Lemberk
Theme: Healing in the Home & Everyday Compassion
St. Zdislava was a laywoman devoted to caring for the sick and homeless within her household walls. Her life reminds us that profound healing often begins in small, quiet acts done with great love. She teaches the magic of compassion through daily service.
February 8 — St. Bega of Cumberland
Theme: Courage, Boundaries & Spiritual Strength
A Celtic saint who fled an arranged marriage and lived as a hermit, Bega is known for her miraculous protection and steadfast devotion. She teaches us the importance of honoring our inner truth, establishing boundaries, and choosing spiritual freedom over fear.
March 8 — St. Drogo of Sebourg
Theme: Embracing Uniqueness & Inner Stillness
St. Drogo was said to be capable of bilocation and lived much of his life in solitude due to physical disfigurement. His lesson is one of self-acceptance — embracing the parts of ourselves we hide and finding holiness in quiet, contemplative living.
April 12 — St. Kateri Tekakwitha

Known as the Lily of the Mohawks, Kateri lived a life of gentle devotion despite hardship and illness. Her message encourages us to cultivate inner purity, resilience, and a heartfelt connection to nature as a spiritual teacher.

July 12 — St. Giles the Hermit

A protector of the wounded, St. Giles lived peacefully in the forest with a deer as his only companion. His compassion for those who suffered reminds us of the healing power of solitude, nature, and nonjudgmental presence.
