Miguel Pro was born on January 15, 1891. He was a michievous boy who liked to have fun and make people laugh. In 1911, after a three-day retreat given by the Jesuits, Miguel became a novice in the Society of Jesus. Around this time, a political revolution in Mexico brought about a government that began to persecute and kill Catholics. Miguel had to flee Mexico to finish his studies...... Reading this story can encourage us to follow in the footsteps of Bl. Miguel Pro, who helped bring Christ to those in need- even when it meant sacrificing his life.

Level 3 books are about 128-144 pages each and are written for about a junior high reading level or higher, although some younger readers are able to read them as well because of the larger print size. This series has books about well-known saints, but it also includes stories about saints and other Catholics that you don't hear about very often.
