Year 4 – St Francis of Assisi
Saint Francis of Assisi was a Catholic friar who gave up a life of wealth to live a life of poverty. He established the Franciscan Order of friars and the women’s Order of the Poor Ladies. Francis was born in Assisi, Italy in 1182. He grew up leading a privileged life as the son of a wealthy cloth merchant.
Year 5 – St Josephine Bakhita
The children in Year 5 have enjoyed completing a range of activities of Josephine Bakhita. Josephine Margaret Bakhita, F.D.C.C. (ca. 1869 – 8 February 1947), was a Sudanese-Italian Canossian religious sister who lived in Italy for 45 years, after having been a slave in Sudan. In 2000 she was declared a saint by the Roman Catholic Church.
Year 2 – Saint Patrick
Saint Patrick is Year 2’s class saint. He was chosen because the children in Year 2 learn about the Holy Trinity – God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. St Patrick used the shamrock as a symbol to try to help people understand this mystery. The children in Year 2 made triangles. This was to show that there is one God made up of three parts.
