GROSSE POINTE FARMS – In honor of All Saints' Day, students at St. Paul on the Lake Catholic School turned their school into an educational pilgrimage, creating their first-ever Saints Walk.
The school celebrated by setting up a Walk with the Saints; teachers and students in each classroom decorated their doors, hallways and lockers with pictures and information about a saint.
Students were encouraged to walk around the school with their buddies and learn about the lives and accomplishments of holy men and women, including St. Francis of Assisi, St. Joan of Arc, St. Paul, St. Philomena and more. Each classroom interpreted the project differently and creatively with balloon arches, interactive displays and prayers.
“A Walk with the Saints encourages the students to follow the saints’ examples of faith, courage, compassion, and service to others,” Dianne Romanelli, St. Paul’s director of advancement, wrote.
