I love introducing my students to Saints who were friends in real life. It gives them an example to follow of pursuing holiness with their friends, classmates, and family. Holiness is contagious! Here are some activities for St. Ignatius of Loyola and St. Francis Xavier.
This is part of a new series of Saint resources which grew out of a desire to have a simple, short, meaningful biography for children alongside a basic coloring page. I love a good Saint coloring page, but I also want my students to understand and remember the significance of their lives. This way while they are coloring and I am talking about the Saint, my students also have a short bio to read. It also comes in handy alongside a wordsearch or crossword puzzle. The article can be used to research and apply facts whether for a short study (I often use these for shortened classes or weird schedule days), or they'd work great for a choice project or independent study.
