  August 19: SERVANT OF GOD NICHOLAS BLACK ELK: Lakota Catholic Hero 19.08.2026 6min

  Servant of God Nicholas Black Elk went from Lakota warrior to Catholic catechist who brought over 400 people to baptism. Nicholas Black Elk lived through the Battle of Little Bighorn and the tragedy of Wounded Knee before being baptized Catholic in 1904. From then on, he rode across the Lakota lands of South Dakota as a catechist, teaching his own people about Baptism, the Eucharist, and Our Lady in words only he could speak. His cause for sainthood is now open with the Catholic Church. "He spent the first half of his life searching for truth. He spent the second half giving it away." ⭐Want to keep living Nicholas Black Elk's story after the episode ends?  Grab our free Every Day's a Feast Day calendar and get every saint and every challenge delivered, so your family can follow along together: https://shop.catholicsprouts.com/pages/every-days-a-feast-day-follow-along

  August 18: ST. HELENA: Finding the True Cross 18.08.2026 6min

  At almost eighty years old, St. Helena crossed the ancient world on pilgrimage to find the actual Cross of Jesus. St. Helena, mother of Emperor Constantine, traveled thousands of miles to Jerusalem in her final years to walk where Jesus walked. Along the way she visited prisoners, cared for the sick, and gave alms to the poor — pilgrimage lived out through mercy. In Jerusalem, she ordered an excavation near Calvary and, according to ancient tradition, uncovered the True Cross itself. "She didn't just want to read about Calvary. She wanted to stand there." ⭐Today's challenge is just the start.  Get the free Every Day's a Feast Day calendar and walk with a new saint every single day: https://shop.catholicsprouts.com/pages/every-days-a-feast-day-follow-along

  August 17: OUR LADY OF KNOCK: She Came in Silence 17.08.2026 7min

  Our Lady of Knock appeared to a rain-soaked Irish village in total silence — and said everything without a word. On a rainy August evening in 1879, fifteen villagers in Knock, Ireland watched Our Lady appear on their church's gable wall alongside St. Joseph and St. John the Evangelist, beside an altar with the Lamb of God. She never spoke — she simply pointed toward the Eucharist, showing the villagers exactly where her Son could be found. "Our Lady came to Knock in silence. But she said everything." ⭐Following Our Lady's example doesn't have to end when the episode does.  Grab our free Every Day's a Feast Day calendar — a saint and a challenge for every day, right at home: https://shop.catholicsprouts.com/pages/every-days-a-feast-day-follow-along

  August 16: ST. STEPHEN OF HUNGARY: A Crown From the Pope 16.08.2026 8min

  St. Stephen of Hungary knelt among the poor as a king long before Rome ever sent him a crown. Meet St. Stephen of Hungary, the young Magyar chieftain crowned the first King of Hungary by Pope Sylvester II on Christmas Day, the year 1000. Stephen built churches and monasteries across his kingdom, and alongside his wife Gisela — a true sacramental partnership — helped plant the Catholic faith in a still-pagan land. He even disguised himself as a poor man to hand out alms with his own hands. "A king who let himself be knocked down in a dark street for love of Christ." ⭐Want to keep living St. Stephen's story after the episode ends?  Grab our free Every Day's a Feast Day calendar and get every saint and every challenge delivered, so your family can follow along together: https://shop.catholicsprouts.com/pages/every-days-a-feast-day-follow-along

Where do they come from and why are they important? + WEDNESDAY: We now look at the Gospel and Homily and the importance of scripture in the Mass. We finish discussing the Liturgy of the Word. + THURSDAY: We begin learning about the first part of the Liturgy of the Eucharist, with the Offertory Procession and the Eucharistic Prayer. + FRIDAY: We conclude our week with the last part of the Liturgy of the Eucharist, receiving Communion and the concluding prayers as we leave Mass.   Deanna Bartalini prepares the Sunday Gospel Activities on CatholicMom.com.
