Dominic de Guzman was born in a big castle where he lived with his parents and 2 brothers. Both of his brothers also became priests. This saint was ordained as a priest in 1195 and wanted to become a missionary. But God had other plans for him. Through St Dominic we received the devotion we now call the Rosary!

Level 1 books in the Footsteps of the Saints series are about 32 pages each and are written as read-alouds for your beginning readers at about a second grade reading level. The print size is large to make it easier to read for young readers, and there are many wonderful illustrations to give a visual for your younger children who are listening. Br. Ernest, C.S.C
