Summary

Join Dr. Scott Hefelfinger and Taylor Kemp as they discuss the life and impact of a little-known Saint, St. Gatian of Tours. In the middle of the third century, St. Gatian was sent from Rome to the far reaches of the Christian world, modern day France, to preach and evangelize to the pagan Gauls. By following the example of St. Gatian, we can learn how to give of ourselves in a way that contributes to the patrimony of holiness in our Church.
