In these twelve chapters of historical narrative, reflection and prayer, we see that the pioneering catechetical saints of North America were willing to die for the faith, because it is a faith first worth living. In the mid-1500’s an estimated nine million natives came into the Church as a result of Our Lady of Guadalupe’s visitation to the peasant Juan Diego in Mexico. Then the missionaries, who came to the “new world”, laid down their lives for Christ in the work of evangelization and catechesis. Includes saints from Canada, United States and Mexico.

The book focuses both on familiar names (St. Juan Diego, St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, Ven. Fr. Michael McGiveny) and lesser-known saints (St. Marguerite Bourgeoys, Bl. Marie of the Incarnation).
Each chapter focuses on one or two saints and includes a biographical sketch, a reflection based on the life of the saints, questions for further reflection, and a prayer. The biographies are straight-forward if leaning towards hagiography. The reflections and prayers would be ideal for use in a small group setting or retreat for catechists; I can imagine a catechetical leader presenting information on each saint and then leading a period of reflection based on the material.
"Mentors for the New Evangelization" is an ideal resource for those who wish to know more about the history and persons behind catechesis in North America. It would make a great addition to any catechetical library. ( )
