Dear Catechists and Pastoral Assistants of Formation in the Faith,
In November we celebrate the festivity of All Saints and adding the life of Saints into our Faith Formation programs tend to inspire, not only young children but also our youth.
Joanna Dailey, from St. Mary's Press published an article titled: "Saint Therese and 3 other Young Saints to Inspire Teens."
Here is the link for you to access the complete article:

Joanna also has an article on "Environmental Saints and Models," reminding us of our responsibility to take care of God's creation. She uses a quote from Psalm 24:1 that states: "The world and all that is in it belong to the Lord: the earth and all who live on it are His." She highlights these Saints that are particularly known for their love and care for these great gifts from God: St. Mother Théodore Guerin, St. Francis of Assisi, St. Martin de Porres, Servant of God Dorothy Day, and St. Kateri Tekakwitha. Following Pope Francis encyclical Laudato Si, we can promote this important task of the Social Doctrine of the Church using role models whose life inspire us and guide us in these crucial times in which our Home needs to be taken care of.

On behalf of the Office of Faith Formation, we also want to wish you a happy Thanksgiving Day. We have so much to be thankful for and we are so thankful for all of your ministry and service.
Carlos Carrillo, Director of Faith Formation
