St. Paul Miki & Companions: No One Walked Alone | Catholic Saints for Kids
Updated: 7 days ago
A winter road. Twenty-six companions. A faith that hatred could not silence. Discover the story of Saint Paul Miki and the twenty-six martyrs of Japan in this animated Catholic story for children and families. As they journey toward Nagasaki, Paul and his companions encourage one another, remain faithful to Jesus, and show extraordinary forgiveness—even toward those responsible for their deaths. “No One Walked Alone” reminds us that courage does not mean never feeling afraid. Sometimes courage means standing firm. Sometimes it means helping someone else stand firm. And sometimes it means loving someone who has not loved us in return. Their memorial is celebrated on February 6. Parent note: This story addresses persecution and martyrdom through a gentle, non-graphic portrayal. Saint Paul Miki and Companions, 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.
