Saints, Our Friends In Heaven

Saints, Friends in Heaven

Come meet the saints and grow in an understanding of the role that the saints play in the life of the Church and in our own lives.

The saints are role models, the heroes of our faith. But they also were real people and can be our special friends in Heaven.

Heavenly Father, please accept our prayers of thanks for the things that offer us comfort and hope.
For your promise of eternal life. Loving God, source of all holiness, renew our faith and keep us united
with your saints in heaven and all who have died. We ask this in Jesus’ name. Amen.

  • Celebrate Feast Days: Celebrating the feast days of the saints really makes them come to life for children. It’s kind of like going to a friend’s birthday party – a special treat or activity can make the day so much sweeter for kids, and associating it with someone they know in heaven will make them enjoy a relationship with them that much more. Tons of Catholic blogs have ideas for celebrating their days – coloring pages, recipes from their native land, craft projects, and more.
