Description

After joining the Jesuits in the mid-16th century, St. Peter Canicius is sent to Germany and Austria to combat the rising tide of Lutheranism. St. Peter sees tremendous success by balancing intellectual teaching, writing, and formation with simple acts of charity. Join Dr. Scott Hefelfinger and Taylor Kemp as they discuss the life and impact of this great saint and Doctor of the Church.
