St. Bernadette
Our Third Grade classroom saint is St. Bernadette. We will watch a movie about her life. We will learn that she lived in France and lived a very simple life. One day while helping her sisters gather wood Mary appeared to her. Bernadette did not know who she was. The officials of the church and the town did not believe her and questioned her many many times throughout her life. After one apparition a miracle happened where Mary had appeared to Bernadette. After this miracle many people believed that Bernadette was seeing the Blessed Mother. Bernadette left her home and became a nun and lived her life quietly in the convent. She is an example to us of faith because she never gave up when people questioned her over and over about seeing Mary. She is an example of humility because she never wanted any attention upon herself . We ask St. Bernadette to watch over us this year.
