There’s a big, beautiful world out there to explore and no one knows that better than the saints who celebrated it. So, I am inviting St. John School and St. John Parish children to conquer the Tiny Saints Summer Challenge!
Rules:
1 . Complete all three tasks below before *August 1, 2018.
2. Have an adult sign the Summer Challenge certificate and mail, email or bring to St. John School or Church office.
3. Be sure to email photos and artwork to charlotte.dickey@saintjohnpc.org so I can feature your work on my Tiny Saints Summer Challenge Facebook album!
All Certificates must be received by August 1, 2018 to be eligible to receive a Tiny Saint charm. One charm per child. ***Charm will be available to pick up after August 15, 2018. Please see Charlotte Dickey at St. John Parish Office.
Before you begin your tasks, take a few minutes to complete the coloring pages and learn about the saints. Then, say a little prayer asking for their guidance and friendship this summer! Let’s get started:
Task #1
- Saint Abigail walked the countryside in search of the place God wanted her to be. She traveled through forests, mountains and valleys. Now it’s your turn! Head out on a walk through nature. Explore the big and small places you’ve never been before. Maybe even sit down to snack and say a little prayer. During your adventure, take photos to share with family and friends.
Task #2
- Saint Francis of Assisi loved animals. He even called them his “brothers” and “sisters.” For this challenge, you have two options! You can (a) create a small attraction for local wildlife – like a birdhouse or flower patch – or (b) call the nearest animal shelter and bring them donated goods. Have fun!
Task #3
- Saint Kateri lived her whole life in the wilderness. Her tribe survived on the fruits, vegetables, meats and herbs God provided. Food was a huge part of their family and community life. It brought everyone together! Next time your family goes to the supermarket or farmer’s market, tag along and prepare a special meal or snack with the ingredients St. Kateri’s family would have used. Examples include corn, beans, turkey, salmon, bread, blueberries and strawberries!
Have fun!
