As part of their saint project, the fifth grade students composed original prayers to their saints and created their own prayer cards.
Saint Kateri Tekawitha, 
You were brave, holy, and faithful.  
You hid scars on your skin and face.  
You prayed to God during tough times.
Help us to show our scars and pray during tough times.
Pray for us.
Amen.

 Dear St. Teresa of Avila,
You showed bravery and your love for God
when you wanted to make a new community 
dedicated to God and prayer.
You showed your love for God.


St. Albertus Magnus,
You were giving.
Help us to be giving like you did.
Make us unselfish.
Cleanse us from our sins that we have from being selfish.
Amen.


 Saint Andrew Kim Taegon,
you are the Korean savior.
You helped Koreans 
express their Christianity
at hard times.
We thank you.
Help us to stand up for Christianity.
We think of you and ask you to pray for us.
Amen.



Dear St. Philomena,
teach us how to be brave 
and have courage like you did.
You are strong, brave, and true.
Saint Philomena, pray for us.
Amen.







The sixth graders are doing a wonderful job preparing to write a literary essay aligning Joseph Campbell's Hero's Journey to the story of Percy Jackson of The Lightning Thief.  Watch this video to see how some of your favorite films fit this structure.



As part of our study of the sacrament of Confirmation, grade 5 students explored what it means to be a witness to Christ in the world. They researched two missionary organizations, the Maryknoll Missioners and the Jesuit Volunteer Corps to discover how these groups are Christian witnesses to those they serve.
