Episode 02 • S1E2 | The First Canonized Saint

What does it mean to be a “canonized Saint?” Who was the first Saint that we knew made it to heaven? Well, we don’t really know his name but he was there with Jesus at the crucifixion because he was on the cross next to him. Tradition tells us that this friend’s name might be Dismas. “Today, you will be with me in paradise.” Jesus, as the head of the Christian Church, tells the man next to him that he will join with the angels in heaven that day and BOOM! the first canonized saint.

But what does that mean for us apart from some weird Catholic theological trivia? Well, come sit at the foot of the Cross with me and we’ll learn about what this Saint Friend’s life can teach us.
