About the show
Telling the stories of Catholics on these American shores from 1513 to today. We Catholics have such an incredible history in what are now the 50 states of the United States of America, and we hardly know it. From the canonized saints through the hundred-plus blesseds, venerables, and servants of God, to the hundreds more whose lives were sho-through with love of God, our country is covered from sea to shining sea with holy sites, historic structures, and the graves of great men and women of faith. We tell the stories that make them human, and so inspiring.
