Rochester

I chose St. William of Rochester,

The Patron Saint 

of Adopted Children.

It's a pretty interesting story,

 all the other saint I looked at 

were all so... saintly, I guess.

What does "saintly" mean to you?

I don't know, 

I don't really believe in saints and all that —

I feel like St. William 

just got to be A Saint 

because he was killed 

by The Boy he adopted.

These days, people get killed 

all the time, 

and they don't get to be 

A Saint for it.

All right, well, thanks, Oliver.

Despite young Oliver’s reticence, I DO happen to believe there are Saints all around us today.

They may never be considered as such by a religion,

 but they are just as important as the ones in your textbooks.

Thus, you are going to research

someone you know, or know of, and determine if they have the

qualities fit for Sainthood.
