Who is Saint Alphonsus Liguori, and why does he remain important in Catholic history? To answer that question, this minibook follows his story through the religious and cultural unrest of the Age of Enlightenment, when the Church faced strong intellectual attacks across Europe and beyond.

Unlike a long academic study, this printed minibook gives readers a compact, readable introduction for personal devotion, parish study, classroom use, or Confirmation and saint research. It explores Saint Agata dei Goti in southern Italy, where he served as bishop, and Nocera Pagani, where he founded the Order of Redemptorists and later died. It also discusses the paintings he made of Our Lady and his lasting spiritual influence.

Created from the Lords' travel research and on-site visits, this minibook offers place-based context that helps readers connect Catholic history with real locations, writings, and devotion.
