We held a class prayer service today with St. Francis as our focus to celebrate the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi. We chose to gather in the prayer garden close to his statue.
We listened to the life St. Francis experienced and learnt how his life changed when he devoted himself to God. We learnt why he became the patron saint of animals, merchants and ecology.
We responded with our own prayer of thanks to St. Francis and each contributed how we could be more like him in our daily lives. Our message to go forth with today was to consider how we could be kinder to animals so we decided to help feed the birds God created by placing bird feeders in and around the prayer garden area.
