Is there a St. Samuel?

[liuzzam]

My question is I need to know if there is a Catholic St. Samuel. Since this week is All Saint’s Day, my 6th grader has a project in writing a report on a Saint, which he chose his namesake, and I’m just not sure if there is a St. Samuel. Please advise.

Hi,

Yes indeed. He is an Old Testament saint who was a prophet.
