Book Synopsis

Saint Justin of the Trinity: At the Service of Vocations

By: Fr. Louis M. Caputo, S.D.V.

Saint Justin dedicated his entire life to the service of vocations. He saw priests and consecrated people as ministers of sanctification, and he is the apostle of Universal Sanctification; to achieve universal sanctification priests and consecrated ministers are needed.

Using his life as an example, author Father Louis Caputo hopes St. Justin may be a source of inspiration for many people and will show people that every life is a vocation.
