Course Description: Mr. O’Brien is known for his portrayals of famous saints, both on EWTN’s The Journey Home and in one-man stage shows that he has performed around the world. In this course, Mr. O’Brien will portray a different saint every day! Students will “interview” each saint live in class by asking him questions, based on their study and research.
