Saints and Heroes Chain

Saints are normal people who try to do what God wants them to do with their lives. They quietly work to help other people and make the world a better place. For these reasons we sometimes call them "everyday heroes." All of us who try to be like this are saints of God.

Here is a way to help you recognize and remember the saints in your life: make a paper chain. Cut out a strip of construction paper and write on it "saints of God." Tape or staple it into a circle. Then each time someone you know does a kind deed (like doing someone else's chore or helping someone study or eating lunch with someone who seems lonely), cut out a strip of construction paper, write that person's name on it, and link it onto the chain.

You can use one person's name as many times as you want. Remember, you can put your name on a link, too, when you do a kind deed!
