SAINT IOASAPH: THE ENLIGHTENER OF CANADA AND ARGENTINA | DRAW THE LIFE OF A SAINT
Discover the remarkable, true story of St. Ioasaph of Edmonton and Buenos Aires! St. Ioasaph was an ascetic who lived in modern times. From a very young age, St. Ioasaph understood the importance of growing in the Faith and of putting Christ at the center of one’s life. His childhood heroes were the saints, whom he modeled his life after, and he became a saint himself! Even though he was penniless in this life, he built up his treasures in Heaven. He spent two decades of his life serving others across the land of Canada and spent the last years of his life ministering to Orthodox Christians in Argentina and Paraguay. Even though he reposed several decades ago, he is still beloved by Orthodox Christians in both North and South America. The tale of the Enlightener of Canada and Argentina is one that the whole family can enjoy!
