Sharing My Story

Another new publisher from Springfield, Missouri
named Arcadius Press. Arcadius is Roman Catholic
in orientation and had recently started publishing a
series called the “Lives of the Saints.” These are well
written and drawn 18 page biographical sketches of
various men and women canonized by the Roman
Catholic church. Some of the saints portrayed are
ones that are well known like Saint Nicholas, St. Patrick,
St Joan of Arc as well as lesser known holy men and
woman like St, Rosa of Lima, St. Pachomius and
St. Stanislaus.

The stories are very relevantly told an serve
as good educational tools for young Catholics
to learn some of their spiritual heritage. So far there
have been a dozen issues printed with more on the way.
The stories and artwork are done by various comics
creators and overall the packaging is very professionally
done. While I am not a Roman Catholic I appreciate
these stories of good and godly men and women who
did significant things. It seems as if Arcadius Press has
tapped into a large market with young people in the
Roman Catholic Church.
