Catholic Sprouts: Daily Podcast for Catholic Kids

Meet St. Frances Xavier Cabrini, the first U.S. citizen to be canonized and the patron saint of immigrants.
She was barely five feet tall and often sick, and an archbishop told her to go back to Italy. Instead, Mother Cabrini found a building, scrubbed the floors herself, and started caring for orphans. This episode shows children what trust in God's providence looks like, and how one tiny woman served thousands of immigrant families across the United States and beyond.
The Pope's words that changed her life: "Not to the East, but to the West."

Meet St. Josaphat, the archbishop who gave his life for the unity of the Church.
As a boy, Josaphat loved the chanted prayers, incense, and golden icons of the Eastern Church. As an archbishop, he worked tirelessly so that Christians would be united with the Pope. This episode shows children his love for the Divine Liturgy and his fasting and prayer for unity, right up to the morning he walked out to meet an angry crowd. His story is a powerful lesson in courage and peace.
"He went out calmly, the way a shepherd goes out to face the wolves so his sheep do not have to."
