~ About Us ~ |
|
The
Hagiography Circle is a body of young scholars bound by a common interest
in “re-telling” the lives of contemporary models of holiness who, within the
past seven years, have dedicated some of their time to reading, translating, and
reflecting on biographies sent to us by promoters of beatification and
canonization causes.
This generosity has enabled us to establish a collection of hundreds of
biographies in English, Italian, Spanish, French, German, Polish, Latin,
Chinese, Hungarian, and other languages, as well as thousands of photographs
of these models of holiness.
This website is the
result of years of research and collaboration between the members of the
Hagiography Circle with the Congregation for the Causes of Saints and the
petitioners of beatification and canonization causes. In establishing this
website, we would like to share with our visitors the fruits of our labor
and contemplation.
Our Aims
-
To assist researchers on contemporary holiness
by providing them with up-to-date information on saints, blesseds,
venerables, and servants of God from the time of the French Revolution
(1789) to recent times;
-
To celebrate the memory of select models of
holiness, whose lives and testimonies stand out because of their
relevance to the movement and anxieties of our late modern times, by
re-telling their stories through full-length biographies written in a
manner that is in harmony with contemporary scholarship;
