Activity
Last week we examined 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 learned that the Bible refers to all Christians as saints. That doesn't mean all Christians are perfect all the time, it means that Christians strive to follow the example of Jesus as well as they can.
Write a letter to someone that you think is like a saint. Tell them the following:
What you've been learning about in RE
Why it made you think of them
What you have seen them do that you think is saintly
Write the letter on paper so that you can send it to them.
