Virtues: Grateful and Generous.

We are grateful for the gifts God has given to us, for other people and the blessing of each new day. 

We are generous with our gifts and use them in service of others. We are generous with our actions and use them to help others. 

 Catholic Social Teaching: Solidarity

Solidarity is understanding that some people are not as lucky as we are. We can show solidarity by using our voices to help others, stand up for injustice and make the world a better place. 

Our Class saint is St Bernadette. 

Our Lady appeared to  St Bernadette in Lourdes 18 times!

Our Lady asked St Bernadette to drink from the dirty water in the stream. St Bernadette did so without questioning and the next day came back to find the water was clean. It was later found that the water had miraculous healing powers making Lourdes a place of pilgrimage for many people.  

Our Lady told St Bernadette that she wanted a chapel to be built in Lourdes. St Bernadette was strong to her faith even when others questioned her. Due to her love for God and loyalty to her faith she convinced others to build the chapel which is now visited by millions of people each year. 

We are going to use Bernadette example for us this year.
