Catholic Saints who Managed to Live to the age of 100 and Beyond
By Larry Peterson
Recently I came across the names of eight saints who were centenarians. Incredibly they had made it up to and past the one-hundred-year mark without having the advantages of modern medicine and all the blessings we have available to us. No, they just lived their lives until God called them.
