Blessed Laura Vicuña for Kids: The Girl Who Offered Her Life for Her Mother | Catholic Saint Story
Updated: 7 days ago
Meet Blessed Laura Vicuña, a courageous girl whose love for Jesus transformed the way she loved her mother. After crossing the Andes from Chile to Argentina, Laura found joy and faith at a school run by the Salesian Sisters. When she realized that her mother was far from God, Laura did not become angry or lose hope. She prayed, made sacrifices, and placed her mother completely in God’s hands. This beautifully animated Catholic story for children and families explores prayer, courage, sacrificial love, the Eucharist, and trust in God’s grace. Laura’s life reminds us that we cannot force another person to change—but we can always love them, pray for them, and entrust them to Jesus. Blessed Laura Vicuña, pray for us!
After watching, families and catechists can talk about one moment that stood out, what it shows about following Jesus, and one small way to put that lesson into practice this week.
