Students learn about Saints

In preparation for All Saints Day on Nov. 1, the 6th grade religious education students at St. Teresa of Calcutta presented ‘For All These Saints’ on Oct. 25. Costumes were prepared by the Catholic Daughters, Mary Parker and Mary Grasso. Each of the students answered questions about the life of the saint they depicted. Everyone learned a lot about the life of each saint and the process of how one becomes a saint in the Catholic Church.
