October 6: VEN. ALPHONSE GALLEGOS: No One Left Behind

Catholic Sprouts: Daily Podcast for Catholic Kids ·

2026/10/06

Bishop Alphonse Gallegos drove straight into Sacramento's most dangerous neighborhoods and learned every young man's name. Shaped by years of feeling overlooked after a childhood illness, Alphonse grounded his ministry in long hours of silent prayer before the Blessed Sacrament every day. He then walked into gang territory again and again, treating young men others had written off with real dignity and kindness, until his death on the very night he'd administered Confirmation. "You matter to God."

October 5: ST. BARTOLO LONGO: From Darkness to Light

Catholic Sprouts: Daily Podcast for Catholic Kids ·

2026/10/05

St. Bartolo Longo fell into the occult as a young lawyer — then found salvation through six words about the Rosary. After years lost in dark spiritual practices, Bartolo returned to the Church through confession and Mass, but carried deep guilt over his past. Kneeling in the Valley of Pompeii, a remembered phrase about the Rosary changed everything, and he spent the rest of his life gathering people to pray it together, building schools for orphans and homes for the children of prisoners. "Whoever

October 4: ST. FRANCIS OF ASSISI: Rebuild My Church

Catholic Sprouts: Daily Podcast for Catholic Kids ·

2026/10/04

St. Francis of Assisi gave up his father's wealth to kiss the hands of a leper and rebuild a crumbling Church. Born into a prosperous merchant family, Francis walked away from comfort after an encounter with a leper on the road changed him completely, and a voice from a crucifix told him to repair God's Church. He begged for his food, cared for the sick with his own hands, and eventually bore the wounds of Christ himself after weeks of prayer and fasting on Mount La Verna. "Until now I have called

October 3: VEN. MATTHEW TALBOT: The Man Who Came Home

Catholic Sprouts: Daily Podcast for Catholic Kids ·

2026/10/03

Venerable Matthew Talbot drank himself to ruin for sixteen years — then walked away from alcohol forever and never looked back. A Dublin laborer trapped by addiction since his teens, Matthew made a pledge to his mother to stop drinking entirely, then went to confession and never touched another drop. He began attending daily Mass before work, gave most of his wages to the poor, and secretly wore penitential chains and cords under his clothes — a hidden life of holiness no one discovered until after

October 2: THE GUARDIAN ANGELS: Never Walk Alone

Catholic Sprouts: Daily Podcast for Catholic Kids ·

2026/10/02

Three shepherd children in Portugal met their guardian angel face to face — and he taught them how to pray. In 1916, Lucia, Francisco, and Jacinta encountered the Angel of Peace on a quiet hillside, who knelt beside them, prayed with them, and even brought them Holy Communion. Their story is a vivid reminder that God assigns every person a guardian angel from the moment they're born, praying alongside us and carrying our prayers to Him. "My God, I believe, I adore, I hope, and I love You. I ask

Catholic Sprouts: Daily Podcast for Catholic Kids ·

2026/10/01

St. Thérèse of Lisieux discovered that holiness isn't about grand gestures — it's about small things done with great love. As a teenager, Thérèse felt every joy and sorrow so deeply it nearly overwhelmed her, until one quiet Christmas night changed her completely. Inside the Carmelite convent, she found her calling not in dramatic penances but in her Little Way — smiling at an irritating sister, offering a headache without complaint, and simply talking to Jesus the way you'd talk to a friend. "I

September 30: ST. JEROME: Translator of the Holy Bible

Catholic Sprouts: Daily Podcast for Catholic Kids ·

2026/09/30

St. Jerome spent decades in a Bethlehem cave translating the entire Bible so ordinary people could finally read it themselves. Working from the original Hebrew rather than the easier Greek text, Jerome produced the Vulgate — the Latin Bible that shaped Catholic worship for over a thousand years. Sharp-tempered and imperfect, he still gave his whole life to a conviction he never let go of: that knowing Christ means knowing Scripture. "Ignorance of Scripture is ignorance of Christ." Today's challenge

Catholic Sprouts: Daily Podcast for Catholic Kids ·

2026/09/29

The Archangels Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael are the only three angels named directly in Scripture — each sent on a different mission from God. Michael defended Heaven itself against Satan's rebellion, Gabriel announced to Mary that she would become the Mother of God, and Raphael secretly guided and healed a young man's family in the Book of Tobit. Together they remind us that God surrounds His people with protection, guidance, and good news we often can't see. "Who is like God?" This feast's

September 28: ST. WENCESLAUS: Barefoot King in the Snow

Catholic Sprouts: Daily Podcast for Catholic Kids ·

2026/09/28

St. Wenceslaus — the "Good King Wenceslas" of the Christmas carol — snuck out barefoot at night to give alms in secret. Raised in the faith by his grandmother Ludmila, who was later murdered for her influence over him, Duke Wenceslaus of Bohemia carried alms to the poor in the dark so no one would see him do it. He was martyred by his own brother in 935, dying for the very faith Ludmila had first planted in his heart. "He wasn't sneaking away from his duties. He was sneaking toward them." Want to

Catholic Sprouts: Daily Podcast for Catholic Kids ·

2026/09/27

One dying peasant's confession redirected St. Vincent de Paul's entire priesthood toward France's forgotten rural poor. After hearing a dying man's confession reveal sins hidden for years with no priest nearby, Vincent de Paul founded a community of priests to reach forgotten villages. With his lifelong friend and partner Louise de Marillac, he also helped found the Daughters of Charity — sisters who served in the streets rather than behind convent walls. "Their convent was the sickroom, their

Catholic Sprouts: Daily Podcast for Catholic Kids ·

2026/09/26

Twin brothers Sts. Cosmas and Damian healed the sick across the Roman Empire — and never once asked for payment. Trained physicians who believed their medical skill was a gift from God, Cosmas and Damian treated rich and poor alike for free, and their generosity drew many toward Christ. When Emperor Diocletian's persecution reached them, both brothers and their three siblings were martyred together for refusing to deny their faith. "Physicians who healed for free, out of pure love rather than

2026/09/25

St. Sergius of Radonezh couldn't read a single word — until a mysterious stranger in a field changed everything. A boy who struggled painfully with his studies, Bartholomew was blessed by a mysterious elder who gave him holy bread — and he could read fluently from that day on. He took the name Sergius as a monk, built a wilderness hermitage that grew into Russia's most important monastery, and turned down the country's highest Church office to stay a simple monk. "God fills in exactly what we

September 24: ST. GERARD OF CSANÁD: Rerouted for Christ

Catholic Sprouts: Daily Podcast for Catholic Kids ·

2026/09/24

A storm blew St. Gerard of Csanád off course toward the Holy Land — and sent him to Hungary instead, where he tutored a future saint. Bound for the Holy Land, Gerard's ship was forced ashore by a storm, and he ended up staying in Hungary as a missionary bishop instead, personally tutoring the boy who became St. Emeric. He was martyred in 1046 during a pagan uprising, having spent his life noticing people — like a singing slave woman — that others overlooked. "Sometimes God doesn't answer our prayers

September 23: PADRE PIO: Marked by Christ

Catholic Sprouts: Daily Podcast for Catholic Kids ·

2026/09/23

Padre Pio carried the actual wounds of Christ's Crucifixion in his own body for fifty years — and spent his life hearing confessions. In 1918, while deep in prayer, Padre Pio received the stigmata — real wounds matching Christ's Crucifixion that never healed for five decades. Embarrassed by the attention, he quietly offered his suffering to God while spending enormous hours hearing confessions, calling the sacrament "the soul's bath." "The soul's bath." Padre Pio's challenge doesn't have to end when

2026/09/22

St. Thomas of Villanova refused to decorate his own archbishop's residence — and sent the money to a hospital instead. Known since childhood for giving away his own clothes to poor children, Thomas became Archbishop of Valencia and lived out that same generosity on a much larger scale — selling his own mattress, mending his own clothes, and building schools and jobs so the poor could become truly self-sufficient, not just fed for a day. "His own house could stay plain. The sick could not wait." Want

September 21: ST. MATTHEW: The Tax Collector Apostle

Catholic Sprouts: Daily Podcast for Catholic Kids ·

2026/09/21

St. Matthew dropped his tax booth the instant Jesus said "Follow me" — then threw a party so his old friends could meet Him too. A tax collector despised by his own neighbors, Matthew left everything the moment Jesus called him, then hosted a banquet inviting his old crowd of "sinners" to meet Jesus. When religious leaders objected, Jesus explained exactly why He'd come. "I have come to call not the righteous, but sinners." Today's challenge is just the start. Grab our free Family Pack — a saint

2026/09/20

St. Andrew Kim, Korea's first native priest, was beheaded at 25 — two years after a layman's secret mission made his ordination possible. Paul Chong risked his life smuggling pleas to Church leaders in Beijing for priests to be sent to Korea's outlawed, hidden Catholics. His persistence led to Andrew Kim's ordination in 1844 as Korea's first native priest — before both men were martyred for the faith they'd given everything to serve. "It is for Him that I die. My immortal life is on the point of

2026/09/19

St. Emily de Rodat turned her own small bedroom into a classroom after overhearing poor mothers worry about their daughters. Unsure of her calling for years, Emily overheard a group of poor women in 1815 worrying that their daughters had no one to teach them the faith — and opened her own room as a school within days. Despite mockery, serious illness, and years of spiritual dryness, the single classroom grew into thirty-eight schools serving thousands of children. "She trusted that staying faithful

Catholic Sprouts: Daily Podcast for Catholic Kids ·

2026/09/18

St. Joseph of Cupertino, mocked as a boy for being slow, would later rise off the ground during Mass in front of stunned crowds. Dismissed by one religious order after another for struggling to keep up, Joseph barely passed his ordination exams — the bishop happened to test him on the one Bible verse he knew well. Once ordained, his overwhelming love for Christ in the Eucharist sometimes lifted him bodily off the floor during Mass, earning him the nickname "the Flying Friar." "Blessed be the womb

Catholic Sprouts: Daily Podcast for Catholic Kids ·

2026/09/17

St. Robert Bellarmine was one of Europe's most brilliant cardinals — and he spent months writing a simple little book just for children. A theological genius trusted by popes, Robert Bellarmine noticed that ordinary people, especially children, had no simple way to learn the Catholic faith. So he wrote a plain, short catechism of questions and answers that taught children the faith for centuries, while living simply himself despite his high office. "It was clear, short, and true." Robert's challenge
