Excerpts from the students “Saints Letters” in 5/6C

Dear Saint Sebastian

I hope this letter finds you surrounded with the love and peace that you deserve. I am writing to you so I can express my admiration for the vast impact you have on me and my journey in life. I thank you for being an inspiration to me and too many other countless people.

Cristiano

Dear Saint Elizabeth,

I hope this letter finds you well. Your service and dedication to the lord is to be commended. You are a great role model to me because in you I can see your hard work, kindness and affection that you showed to people that might be underprivileged. I have so much gratitude for your work. You have been through a lot. To get married at 14 is a challenge in itself but you did it, to be chosen to be a saint is something you should be proud of, to turn loaves of bread into roses is astounding.

Bethany

Dear Saint Teresa of Avila,

I hope this letter finds you well surrounded by God and the warm embrace of heaven. I am writing to you today to show you that you did amazing things in your life and how meaningful these things are to me and others. You're such a role model to others. You were able to persist and do what you loved, which was helping people and being able to follow God's words.

Georgette

Dear Saint Bernadette,

I hope this letter finds you well, and gives you a hint of how much happiness and joy you served for others in the community. I’m writing this to finally express my love for you, and to dedicate myself to you in the time of my Confirmation. You're such an inspirational and admirable saint, and all of your beliefs have taught me so much in this journey.

Olivia

Dear Saint Alexander of Jerusalem

I hope you can see this letter with love, joy and peace. Your fortitude within me has made me choose you to be my saint for my Confirmation. Your peace and loving joy has inspired me to be like you and to believe in God and to be as kind as you. Your life with peace has shown me that you display the fruits and gifts of the Holy Spirit really well so you have inspired me to be like you.

Harrison

Dear Saint Cristopher

Hopefully you see this letter, from the bottom of my heart you are a great person. Your story is incredible how you devoted your life to helping the weak and the poor cross a river. The pain that you would've gone through must've been unbearable, you're a hero.

Luca

Dear Saint Joseph,

I hope this letter finds you well. You are a great role model to fathers as you helped Jesus grow and nourish. You have shown how to care for one another and to treat people with kindness and respect. You have shown many fruits and gifts of the Holy Spirit that make you a leader and well respected by many.

Alex

Dear Saint Michael,

I have chosen you because of your hard work and commitment in the catholic church. You protect the good from bad which is something that a true warrior and hero would do.

Roman

Dear Saint Agnes,

I hope this letter finds you happy, surrounded by angels that respect your Christianity as you talk to Jesus Christ. I have sent this letter to appeal to you why I chose you to be my Saint and why I am so impressed by you. When you were on Earth, your faithfulness and loyalty was inspirational, you chose to die rather than admit your disloyalty to God and for that you are rewarded in the kingdom of heaven for eternity. I have been inspired by you to always stick up for what I believe in and not allow others to shape my opinions.

Miette

Dear Grade 6 Students and Confirmation Candidates,

Congratulations are in order for the remarkable Grade 6 students and, in particular, the dedicated Confirmation candidates! Your hard work, determination and growth have led you to this momentous achievement, and we couldn't be prouder.

As you each embark on this journey of Confirmation, remember that you are not alone. The letters you've written to your chosen saints reflect your unique personalities, hopes, and aspirations. May these words serve as a reminder of your individuality and your connection to something greater.

The path you're on is one of spiritual growth and understanding. Just as your letters express your thoughts and feelings, may your Confirmation journey allow you to deepen your relationship with your faith and strengthen your connection with your chosen saint's example.

This milestone marks the beginning of a new chapter in your lives and we have no doubt that you will continue to shine brightly. Keep the flame of curiosity alive, seek wisdom, and let your hearts be open to the lessons that life has in store for you.

Once again, congratulations to all Grade 6 students and a special salute to the Confirmation candidates. Your dedication inspires us all. May your journey be blessed with joy, love, and a profound sense of purpose.
