Read stories in this book about saints and holy people of Africa, some told here for the first time! From the continent of Africa come a wealth of saints and other inspirational people included in the Catholic tradition. Some are well-known, like St. Augustine, a doctor of the church, and his mother, St. Monica, while others may be unknown to us, such as Blessed Daudi Okelo and Blessed Jildo Irwa, 20th-century Ugandan martyrs. Regardless of popularity, each holy person included in African Saints, African Stories displays
perseverance in faith and can inspire us all. Each chapter of this book includes a brief biography, a relevant scripture passage, a prayer and reflection questions.

“‘A people with no history have no destiny.’ I highly recommend Camille Brown’s African Saints, African Stories. May it remind all who read it of the rich history and contributions to the Catholic Church by persons of African descent.” —Father Stephen D. Thorne, executive director, Office for Black Catholics, and pastor, St. Therese Church, Archdiocese of Philadelphia
“These holy people exemplify the universality of the Church. Their stories need to be told. We are blessed that Camille Brown has done so, and with such love and affection. Her book belongs on
every Catholic educator’s bookshelf.” —Carmina Magnusen Chapp, Ph.D., academic dean, religious studies division, St. Charles Borromeo Seminary, Archdiocese of Philadelphia
