Activity
Last week we looked at ways that people in our community showed kindness during the pandemic. We also looked at how the work of Catholic Mission supports people in need in Thailand.
This week we have looked at the qualities of saints. We now know that all saints are different (even though they have some things in common) and that anybody can be a saint!
Write a letter to someone that you think is like a saint. Tell them the following:
What you've been learning about in Religion
Why it made you think of them
What you think is saintly about them
Write the letter on paper so that you can send it to them.
