Modern Day Saint
Martyers, Year 2001
This issue we will be a little different in our presentation. We are not going to single out a specific saint, rather we wish to give some honor to those missionaries that have given their lives for Christ during the past year. These, as well as other missionaries sacrifice so much to not only defend the faith, but to convert souls to the Church. The following are a list of those missionaries that were martyred during the year 2001:
