MAY
In some years, MAY welcomes the Season of Pentecost and the introduction of Ordinary Time, but there are still saints to celebrate with Twenty Feast Days on Our calendar.
Click on each icon to read the life story of the saint (or saints!) celebrated, to find a prayer about them, and to secure your copy of their limited edition NFT.
This month’s art is by Rev. Kirsten Kohr of Geneva, Ohio.
