St. Angela knew many poor girls that were out on the streets and roads.
They didn't know about God and Jesus and the Blessed Virgin and the
saints, so she invited them over to her house and taught them about Jesus
a lot. She did that almost every day and she taught them prayers. And then
once then once those girls were older, they taught other people about
Jesus.

laughing at Him and they made Him trip fall. But then He looked around and
He saw no friends. And then St. Veronica was there and she was upset with
what was happening to Jesus so she pushed the crowd away. She pushed the
soldiers away and then she went to Jesus. She took off her veil and wiped
His face. And then the soldiers pushed her out. And then when she so she
went home and hen when she went home she looked at her veil and then she
saw Jesus's face on it and she kept that as long as she lived. Her feast
day is February 4.
St. Vincent
St. Vincent was a very holy priest. He cared for the sick and loved them.
He helped many poor people. He loved the poor. He knew that Jesus loved
them most of all too. He gave all the money he got to the poor. Every time
when he saw the poor he would give them clothing, toys, and clothes and
his love. Most of all he loved to teach about Jesus Christ. But one day,
these pirates came by and carried him off to sea. He converted them and he
baptized them. He made them into Catholics and they became followers of
him. He went back to his country and made more people come back to the
Catholic Church. He got pure, good men and women to follow him. The women
cared very much for the poor. His feast day is July 19.
St. William
St. William was a fine young man. He was sent to the finest schools.
People thought he was going to lead a successful life. But he followed Our
Lord, and became a young priest. He always taught the people about Our
Lord. They always came to listen to William when he preached. He never ate
meat. He gave it to the poor. He never spent money on himself; he gave it
away. Our Holy Father asked him to be an archbishop. William didn't want
to accept it, but he listened to the Holy Father. Then one day he died and
a whole crowd of people went following his dead body to the grave.
St. Zita
St. Zita was a young little girl. She worked for these people and they
said to her, "Don't work so hard, because you're showing off our
laziness." And then one day they fell asleep so she thought that she'll
make bread. So she made bread. But really most of all she loved to talk to
God. So she was talking to God, praying for like a couple hours. Then all
of a sudden she forgot about the bread and she cried. But then these
angels came down and took the bread out of the oven. She made the best
bread in the world; it was sweet.
