Catholic saints are holy people and human people who lived extraordinary lives. Each saint the Church honors responded to God's invitation to use his or her unique gifts. God calls each one of us to be a saint

✙ June 22 - Saint Paulinus of Nola- 354 A.D – 431.A.D.
Paulinus of Nola, Spain, lived in the fourth century. Paulinus was a wealthy lawyer, governor, and poet. He was married to a rich Spanish noblewoman named Therasia. In 389, both of them were baptized. Later, they had a son, Celsus, who died after only eight days. This occasioned their beginning a life of great austerity and charity, giving away most of their Spanish property.
He and his wife then moved to Nola, near Naples. He had a great love for St. Felix of Nola, and spent much effort in promoting devotion to this saint. Paulinus gave away most of his remaining property (to the dismay of his relatives) and continued his work for the poor. Supporting a host of debtors, the homeless and other needy people, he lived a monastic life in another part of his home.

✙ June 24 - B irth of John the Baptist
The coming of John the Baptist was prophesied by Isaiah 700 years before his birth. Isaiah wrote:
The voice of one crying in the wilderness: Prepare the way of the Lord; make his paths straight.

The Angel Gabriel appeared to John's father, Zechariah (also called Zacharias) in the temple. Now Zechariah and his wife Elizabeth were very old, and had no children. Gabriel told Zechariah that they would have a son named John, and that he would be filled with the Holy Spirit while in his mother's womb. Zechariah questioned Gabriel, saying "How shall I know this?" As a sign, Gabriel told Zechariah that he would be unable to speak until his son was born. When Zechariah left the temple, he was mute, and all who knew him realized he had seen a vision. When John was born, his relatives wanted to call him Zechariah, after his father. They came to his father, who wrote as follows, "His name is John." Immediately Zechariah was able to speak. He blessed the Lord, and prophesied concerning John, saying: You will be called the prophet of the Most High.
