In the past two days I have seen very faithfilled expressions of our Catholic faith. Yesterday, after researching various Catholic saints, the fourth graders had a Saints Parade throughout the building. Not only did each student write a report of their saint and color a picture, but they dressed in costume as their saint! They went from room to room showing off their creativity and explaining the life of their chosen saint. It was a special reminder for all of us on how important the saints are in our own journey to heaven.
Today, Mrs. Robinson's fifth grade class participated in a prayer service for All Souls Day led by Fr. Randy. The students brought in an object that would remind them of a special "saint" from their own life that had died and who they planned to pray for this month. These names were placed on handprints located on a bulletin board as an extra reminder. Their room mother, Mrs. O'Donnell, then explained the Mexican custom of Day of the Dead and had refreshments that were suitable for this Mexican tradition. It was a wonderful way to experience All Souls Day.
