Philip Neri, the Laughing Saint

Saint Philip Neri’s story is told in a full-color, graphic novel biography for children ages 9-12. When he goes to live with his uncle to learn business skills, he experiences a religious conversion. Enthusiastic Philip then moves to Rome to study under the Augustinian rule, dedicating his time and energy to helping the poor. This loveable saint, patron of joy and laughter, comes alive for young readers as he inspires them to live out Christ’s call in their own lives.
