Photographer Kristyn Brown was born and raised in a suburb of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Over time, she began shooting professionally in Los Angeles, California. After six years on the west coast, Kristyn and her family moved back to Philadelphia, where she started The Saints Project – A Modern Portrayal of Catholic Saints.

Since then, she has created over 80 images of Saints and the Holy Family in modern times.

Most people know that priests are a vital part of the Catholic Church, but many don’t realize how much they do for their parish. This video tells the story of how Fr. Anthony Bus saved St. Stanislaus Kostka Parish from the brink of closure. A story of how he kept going forward in the name and grace of our Lady, the Virgin Mary, her Son, and ultimately God to restore the parish and turn it into a sanctuary despite all the struggles. It’s also the story of his journey in bringing peace and salvation to the people and bringing people to know God, to love God, and to serve God in the midst of all chaos in this difficult time in the world.

While some people say that technology doesn’t work well with our mission as Catholics, we believe that like any other saint or any person who lives a religious life, we can always use the tools available to us in our time, to evangelize. In our modern time, we are so blessed to have these tools that connects us in a way the we’ve never been connected before. Whatever medium or social media platform we use, we are always called to be the light of Christ in our day-to-day life. Whatever our job or our vocation is, social media is a way for us to easily share our faith with others and connect in a more intimate way with other Catholics. Meanwhile, it’s also always exciting to see the way that different Catholics all across the globe have answered that call, to bring the beauty and the truth to the platform.
