St Hyacinth of Poland: The Story of the Apostle of the North

By May Fabyan Windeatt, this is the story for children 10 and up of St. Hyacinth, the Dominican who planted the Faith in Poland, Lithuania and Russia and worked many miracles. He went to Rome, where he met St. Dominic, and was one of the first to receive at his hands the habit of the newly established Order of Friars Preachers. After his novitiate he made his religious profession, and was made superior of the little band of missionaries sent to Poland to preach. Hyacinth spoke to the barbarian tartars again: “Come, my sons. Down to the water.” There were no boats on the river. What did Fr. Hyacinth have in mind now? This book tells what happened next, plus the other events in Hyacinth remarkable life: his travels. His preaching, his miracles—even the raising of the dead! All in all, this is the wonderful story of how St. Hyacinth and his fellow Dominicans planted the holy faith in Poland, in Lithuania, in Russia and all over Northern Europe.
