Class Saints

All classes have chosen a Saint to help guide them in their school life.  We want to celebrate the lives of the Saints and take guidance from how they lived their lives to make Christ known to all.

On the feast day of the class saint, the class will hold a special celebratory day. They will have a non-uniform day; lead a special whole school assembly and have a  celebration in the afternoon.  All parents and members of the parish are warmly invited to the assembly.

Saint Teresa of Calcutta (Mother Teresa)

‘Not everyone can do great things. But we can do little things with a lot of love.’

Saint Teresa of Calcutta is also known as Mother Teresa and is most remembered for her work helping the poor, sick and homeless. She was born in North Macedonia in 1910. Her family was religious, so she became a nun as a young woman. As a nun, Mother Teresa lived in a convent and was known as Sister Teresa. Whilst on a train journey, Mother Teresa received a message from God that she should help the sick and poor people in the Slums. She moved to Calcutta, India, to work there as a missionary and a teacher at St Mary’s High School for Girls. She received her name of ‘Mother Teresa’ after making a promise to God that she would spend her life helping the poor and sick. She showed kindness and compassion to everyone she met. She started a group called the Missionaries of Charity, which helped people who needed food, care and love. For her kind heart and hard work, she won a Nobel Peace Prize in 1979. She sadly passed away in 1997. In 2016, the Catholic Church made her a Saint.

Year 3 & 4

St. Carlo Acutis

St Carlo Acutis (1991–2006) was a young Catholic who showed that holiness is possible in everyday life. Born in London and raised in Italy, Carlo had a deep love for Jesus in the Eucharist and attended Mass regularly from a young age. He was known for his kindness, generosity to those in need, and his desire to help others grow closer to God. Although he lived only to the age of 15, his joyful faith and commitment to prayer continue to inspire people around the world. He was canonised as a saint in 2025, becoming the Catholic Church’s first millennial saint.

Carlo was also gifted in technology and used his computer skills to share the Gospel. He created a website documenting Eucharistic miracles from around the world, helping many people learn more about the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist. Often called “God’s influencer,” he showed that modern technology can be used for good and for spreading faith. His famous words, “The Eucharist is my highway to heaven,” remind us to keep Jesus at the centre of our lives and encourage young people to use their talents in service of God and others.

St Lucy

St Lucy was a young Christian who lived in Sicily over 1,700 years ago. She loved God very much and wanted to spend her life serving Him. Lucy was kind, brave and generous, giving her money and possessions to people who were poor and in need. Even when she was told to give up her faith, she refused because she trusted God completely. Lucy died as a martyr for her beliefs and is remembered for her courage and hope. She is the patron saint of the blind and those with eye illnesses because her name means "light", reminding us that Jesus is the Light of the World.
