Celebrating St. Francis of Assisi

Last week, the Faith Formation students celebrated the life of Saint Francis of Assisi with activities that highlighted his compassion for others and his deep love for all of God's creation. The younger students in Miss Elsa's and Miss Wendy's classes read about Saint Francis and crafted simple bird feeders, which they hung in the trees near the Swan Garden. They also enjoyed a nature scavenger hunt, taking advantage of the beautiful fall weather. 

The older students talked about how they could follow Saint Francis' example and make a positive impact in the community. They also spent time decorating wooden birdhouses and then headed outside to harvest the remaining vegetables in our community garden.

In reflecting on the life of Saint Francis, we are reminded that through small acts of kindness, love for others, and care for creation, we too can follow his example and strive to be saints in our everyday lives.
