Sommario/riassunto |

This book is a selection of saints presented chronologically and as Patrons. The proportion of women to men is deliberately higher than usual and the aim is-in accordance with Pope John Paul's intentions-to produce a worldwide spread of saints.

Members make regular contributions to a communal fund which is used to provide income protection when they experience financial hardship.This book is the first to comprehensively document the activities of mutual associati |
