FAITH: Celebrating Our Saints

Saint Wax Museum

Each year, the 5th grade students transform their school room into a SAINTS WAX MUSEUM. Each student researches his/her favorite saint, dresses in costume, and assumes the posture of a wax museum figure.

Saints are "activated" by guests walking by and stopping at their station. At that moment, the "Saint" comes alive with a one minute story about themselves.

Students love to learn about not only their own favorite saint, but also to gain knowledge of the lives of the favorite saints of their classmates.

This is truly a unique and fun way to honor those who have gone before us into Heaven.

Saint Thomas Aquinas, you are called by Holy Mother Church, the Angel of the Schools. Your wisdom, gathered through long meditation from the source of all wisdom, the most holy Trinity, has long been a shining light in the Catholic Church. Ignorance of the things of God is a darkness now enveloping the minds of many of our countrymen. In this darkness, we need an angel like you who will protect, foster, and nourish the schools we have, and guide and strengthen us in establishing and building newer and more adequate schools for the instruction of our children in the ways of Christ. Help and bless the generous sisters, brothers, and priests who labor so unselfishly in the classroom to spread the knowledge of Christ. Inspire our Catholic men and women to be most generous in the support of the schools we have. Grant to parents the wise generosity they need to give their child back to God when that child wishes to follow a priestly or religious vocation. Help us, Saint Thomas, Angel of the Schools, to understand what you taught, and to follow your example. Amen.
