St. Martin de Porres
Saint Martin de Porres (1579–1639) was a Peruvian lay brother of the Dominican Order renowned for his profound humility, charity, and dedication to the marginalized. Born in Lima to a Spanish nobleman and a freed African slave, he faced societal discrimination due to his mixed-race heritage. Despite these challenges, Martin devoted his life to serving others, working as a barber-surgeon, caring for the sick, and establishing an orphanage and hospital for abandoned children. He was known for his deep spirituality and was attributed with miraculous abilities, including healing and bilocation. Canonized in 1962, he is the patron saint of social justice, racial harmony, and mixed-race people.

St. John Henry Newman
As we honor Saint John Henry Newman’s declaration as a Doctor of the Church on November 1, join Dr. Elizabeth Klein and Dr. Christopher Bloom for a conversation on the life, conversion, and enduring legacy of this remarkable 19th-century saint.Once a rising leader within the Church of England at a time when Catholics were widely disdained, Newman’s search for truth led him to the Catholic Church. Drawn by the unity of the early Church and affirmed by the authority of the papacy, his conversion became a defining witness to faith and reason. His lifelong passion for learning inspired the founding of England’s first Oratory and sparked a legacy of intellect and holiness that continues to illuminate the Church today.
