Lent Madness is a fun, engaging way to learn about the men and women comprising the Church’s Calendar of Saints.
How it all works: 32 saints are placed into a tournament-like single elimination bracket. The first round consists of basic biographical information about each of the 32 saints. In subsequent rounds it becomes a bit more interesting as quotes and quirks, explore legends, and more are offered. Saints advance with participant votes.16 saints make it to the Round of the Saintly Sixteen; eight advance to the Round of the Elate Eight; four make it to the Faithful Four; two to the Championship; and the winner is awarded the coveted Golden Halo. Each pairing remains open for a set period of time for voting.
