| To Parents and Catechists: Celebrate the example of Saint Martin by offering the prayer of working together in friendship. You can use paper or fabric for the quilt pieces. This activity might be used with children between the ages of five and seven. |
We Celebrate Saint Martin de Porres
Listen to God’s Word
Saint Martin loved all people. He helped the poor, the homeless and the sick. He was kind to everyone he met, no matter what color they were or where they came from.
Pray in Your Heart
Saint Martin, help me to do God's work by being kind to others.
Talk to Jesus
Jesus, I want people to be kind to me. I want people to care about me. Help me to treat others the same way.
My Prayer Goes On
Make a friendship quilt. A quilt is made up of many pieces that are joined together.
1. Decorate your piece of the quilt with a friendly picture.
2. Cut it out.
3. Join your piece with the pieces your prayer friends have made.
4. Share what your piece of the quilt says about being a friend.
