6th Graders are learning saints can be patrons of different things. When a saint is a patron saint of something, it means they have been deemed to be special protectors or guardians over that thing, and we are encouraged to pray more specifically for their help in those areas of life.

There are patron saints of almost everything including sports, musicians, mothers and fathers, different jobs, states, etc. Both the 6th Grader and parent will choose something important in their lives (hobbies, jobs, dream jobs, etc..) to find the patron saint of that thing.

After you decided on a saint and you know what he/she is a patron saint of, use the same website to read together the life story of each of your saints.
