Called to Be Saints

At Corpus Christi School we love celebrating the lives of the Saints! A patron saint has been assigned to each class by Fr. Pat. These class patron saints will remain the same for each class during their entire time at CCS. The chosen saints offer our students more chances to interact with our Catholic faith by learning about their class saints. We hope you will enjoy learning about them too!

St. Padre Pio

Feast Day: September 23rd

Pio of Pietrelcina was an Italian Capuchin priest known affectionately as "Padre Pio." God gave him several extraordinary graces and favors. He received the stigmata (the wounds of Christ), could read souls, bi-locate, and work many miracles. Not everyone believed that Padre Pio's abilities came from God. there were several rumors and false accusations. For a time, his superiors forbade him from doing the two most important tasks of a priest; saying public Mass and hearing confessions. He obeyed without complaint and did all that was asked of him. Soon his superiors recognized the falseness of the accusations and restored his faculties as a priest.

Each class is assigned a male and female patron saint. St. Padre Pio is the male patron saint for the Class of 2029.
