"For it is in giving that we receive." Francis of Assisi

This week we continue to learn about Saints in Heaven.  We are all called to be Saints and the students are well on their way!  :)

Here is a video of the students working on their Saints packets while listening and singing the Litany of Saints song.  Truly beautiful!
