Saints are not just the holy people from the past that we remember on special days - like Saint Valentine's Day or Saint Patrick's Day.
Saints are the people of God who lived their lives reflecting His light and love in this dark world.
Saints of the past are remembered and celebrated by the saints of today - the followers of Jesus - so that we can imitate their reflecting as we tell others about Jesus!
