became followers of him. He went back to his country and made more people
come back to the Catholic Church. He got pure, good men and women to follow
him. The women cared very much for the poor. His feast day is July 19.

St.William was a fine young man. He was sent to the
finest schools.People thought he was going to lead a successful life. But
he followed Our Lord, and became a young priest. He always taught the people
about Our Lord. They always came to listen to William when he preached.
He never ate meat. He gave it to the poor. He never spent money on himself;
he gave it away. Our Holy Father asked him to be an archbishop. William
didn't want to accept it, but he listened to the Holy Father. Then one
day he died and a whole crowd of people went following his dead body to
the grave.

St. Zita was a young little girl. She worked for
these people and they said to her, "Don't work so hard, because you're
showing off our laziness." And then one day they fell asleep so she
thought that she'll make bread. So she made bread. But really most of all
she loved to talk to God. So she was talking to God, praying for like a
couple hours. Then allof a sudden she forgot about the bread and she cried.
But then these angels came down and took the bread out of the oven. She
made the best bread in the world; it was sweet.
