Our Faith Theme 2025/28
Live Like a Saint- with minds open to learn, hearts open to love, and hands open to serve.
Saints are holy men and women who have lived lives of exemplary faith, virtue, and service, offering a powerful witness to God’s love in the world. Throughout history, saints have come from all walks of life. Some were quiet and gentle; others were bold and courageous. What they all shared was a desire to live according to God’s will. Through their example, we see how God’s love can flourish in the lives of ordinary people.
The saints show us how to trust God, even when life feels uncertain. They show us how to persevere when things are difficult, and how to discover and use our unique gifts to do good in the world. To live like a saint doesn’t mean being perfect; it means trying to become the person God made us to be. In our Catholic tradition, we honour the saints through veneration—showing deep respect for their holy lives and asking for their prayers. We believe that the saints are close to God and can pray for us, just as we pray for one another. When we pray to the saints, we ask them to help us follow Jesus more faithfully and to support us on our journey of faith.
By exploring the lives of saints over the next three years, we hope to answer the questions: How can we learn like the saints learned? How can we love like the saints loved? How can we serve like the saints served?
