Saint of the Day

We are all called to be saints, any faithfully departed man or woman in heaven. Even if we are not canonized, our goal is heaven. Saints’ stories provide a glimpse into Church history and help us understand the often miraculous power of faith. And if we want to be saints, we need to know what makes people, just like us, into saints. This activity might include the teacher presenting the saint of the day each day to the students. Alternatively, the students can research a particular saint of the day to present to the class. The research can be as simple as showing a picture of that saint. A more advanced assignment could be writing a short biography of the saint and presenting it to the class.
