MORE HIDDEN SAINTS PUZZLE

The names of 38 Saints are hidden in the scrambled letters. To find them, fill in the first name of the saint in each question. To help you, their traditional feast day is given at the end of each line. Look up the ones you don't know in your missal or Society of Saint Pius X calendar.

Then, find each saint's name in the scrambled letters. The names may be spelled backwards, forwards, up, down, or on a diagonal. Some of them overlap but they are always spelled in a straight line. If a name is on the list two or three times, it will be in the letters that many times. The sample word, "saint," has been circled to show you how.

Bonus: the first letters of the first 14 questions spell out the entire name of a great bishop-saint and Doctor of the Church whose feast falls on January 29.
