Chapter 7: All Saints


This lesson deepened your child's understanding of what it means to be a saint. A saint is someone recognized by the Church for living a holy life. The early Christians used this word to include all those who have done or are doing God's will. A saint, then, is someone who truly lives the gospel teachings of Christ. The Second Vatican Council reminds us that all Christians are called by Baptism to such holiness of life.

Faith Summary

  • Saints are people who loved God and did God's will on earth.
  • We celebrate the feast of All Saints on November 1.
