Overview

All the souls in heaven were once people on earth: sons, daughters, priests, religious, husbands, wives, friends. The saints give ample examples of just how rich and varied the call to holiness looks among the members of the Church. In this lesson, students assume the persona of a saint, and engage in discussions with classmates/other saints. Saint biography cards are provided here at two reading levels. With younger students, read the stories of 3 or 4 saints aloud and assign everyone in the class to play one of those four. Older students can do their own research to learn more about these individuals, and/or write new biography cards for saints not included in this guide.
