saint cardsgrades 1-3
Have the students do a bit of research on one of their favorite Saints. Ask them to make a Saints Day Card using either a 8X11 sheet of paper or construction paper folded in half. The top part of the card could contain the name of the Saint with a picture or drawing representing the Saint. Inside, there could be a brief biography of the Saint and/or a prayer to this Saint written by the student or by the Saint. They could also explain why they have chosen this Saint - what do they find appealing about this holy person. On the back of the card, ask them to draw a symbol that represents this Saint. Under the drawing, they could explain why they have chosen this symbol. Please email any completed cards so I can post them on the parish website for all to see.
God Bless!

November
This is the month when we focus in a special way on the Saints who are famous and some who may be known only to us. Saints are not perfect. In fact, they are very human and that is why we all can learn from them and walk in their footsteps.
One of the great gifts of our Catholic tradition is the remembrance of and prayer with the saints. On All Saints Day we recall and pray with these saints. It is important to continue to tell these stories of saints and saintly people to our children so that they have ample models of people of faith for their own lives.
Together as a family, name and tell the story of favorite saints. Prepare a list of some of the traits these people have in common with people you know. After preparing this list, read Matthew 5:1–12
Identify how the attitudes described in the Beatitudes are reflected in the lives of the saints and the people you named above. Pray together as a family a Litany of the Saints. To pray the Litany of the Saints the leader prays, “Saint Elizabeth,” and the children are invited to reply, “Pray for us.” Include in your list the saints and holy people you named in your discussion and do not forget your family members.
Conclude by praying that your family will follow the example of these people as disciples of Jesus
