Objective: In this course, students will learn about St. Dymphna, the 7th-century Irish saint who was forced to run away from her mad father. 

Once across the sea, Dymphna started to help people, but her father was not going to give up finding her. 

Learn what happened next, and why this brave, young saint is remembered to this very day.
