Pentecost Since the time of the Apostles, people have been spreading the Good News throughout the World. Research the life of a Saint. You can choose a Saint from anywhere around the world. Make a poster or fact page about them. There are some questions on the right that will help you. I would love to see some photos of your work.

You could answer the following questions –

In what ways has your chosen Saint proclaimed the Good News about Christ?

How has the Holy Spirit inspired and directed their lives?

Why do you think the life of your chosen saints can help those who follow Christ today?
