House Saints
Our House Saints come from different countries, cultures and walks of life, each answering God's call in a unique way. Together, they reflect the diversity of the worldwide Church and provide inspiring role models for every member of our Saint George family.
Saint Teresa of Calcutta
Saint Teresa recognised Christ in the poorest and most vulnerable, dedicating her life to serving those most in need. Her compassion and humility transformed countless lives and inspired people across the world. Her example reminds us that true greatness is found in serving others with love and compassion.
Saint Maximilian Kolbe
A Franciscan priest imprisoned at Auschwitz, Saint Maximilian Kolbe, voluntarily gave his life to save another prisoner. His extraordinary sacrifice remains one of the most powerful examples of Christian love and courage. His witness encourages us to choose generosity and selfless service, whatever challenges we face.
Saint Josephine Bakhita
Born into slavery in Sudan, Saint Josephine Bakhita endured great suffering before finding freedom and becoming a religious sister. Her life is a remarkable story of resilience and faith. Her story reminds us that hope, forgiveness and human dignity can triumph over even the greatest adversity.
Saint Óscar Romero
As Archbishop of San Salvador, Saint Óscar Romero spoke courageously against injustice and defended the rights of the poor and oppressed. His commitment to truth ultimately cost him his life. Echoing his belief that we should aspire not to have more, but to be more, his life inspires us to lead with integrity and work for justice.
Saint John Paul II
A philosopher, teacher and one of the most influential popes of modern times, Saint John Paul II inspired millions of people, especially the young, to live lives of faith and purpose. His message of hope continues to resonate around the world. He invites us to live with courage, seek the truth and use our lives to make a positive difference.
Saint Pier Giorgio Frassati
A university student, keen mountaineer and committed volunteer, Saint Giorgio Frassati combined a love of adventure with deep faith and practical service to others. His joyful example continues to inspire young people today. His life reminds us that holiness is found not only in extraordinary moments, but also in the choices we make each day.
Saint Katharine Drexel
Saint Katharine Drexel devoted her considerable wealth and energy to providing education and opportunities for disadvantaged communities. Her life reminds us that our gifts and resources can be used to widen opportunity and serve those most in need.
