Roses in December

I read some time ago in a Catholic publication that every Catholic, especially young people graduating from catholic schools should know the names and the stories of Jean Donovan, Dorothy Kazel, Maura Clark, and Ita Ford. What do you think he meant by that opinion. Had you ever heard of Jean Donovan before viewing "Roses in December?" Do you agree with the sentiment that every catholic should know their names? Explain your answer, and include your impressions of Jean.
