We're done for the summer: See you at VBS!

We're done for the summer. See you at VBS!

Here is the link for the VBS program: Growing with the Saints- Go Around the World in 5 Days!
We'll be studying about:
Saint Juan Diego (Mexico): He believed Mary when she told him to get the bishop to build a cathedral- and when the bishop did not believe- Juan Diego showed the bishop that roses could blown in the snow- when he opened his cape, the portrait of the Blessed Mother known as Our Lady of Guadalupe appeared! Virture=Faith!

Saint Brigid of Ireland: Even though her father opposed it, all her life she wanted to be a nun. Staying the course paid off- she got her wish! Virtue- Hope!

Saint Martin de Porres (South America): Born as an undesirable by his society, he decided to follow Jesus and minister to others. Although he was very poor himself- he was able to feed 160 poor people every day! Virtue- Love!

Saint Nicholas(Ancient Asia Minor): He decided that poor children should not be sold into slavery-so he dropped gold down the chimney so the family could keep their children! Virtue- Virtue of Virtues!

Blessed Kateri Tekawitha (USA and Canada wilderness): She wanted to follow Jesus so much that she left her people and traveled by foot to a strange land where she could worship in peace! Virture: Be a Missionary.
