Class Saint
St Kinga. Patron Saint of Poland. Feast day is 24th July.
Kinga became princess when her husband ascended the throne as High Duke of Poland. During her reign, Kinga got involved in charitable works such as visiting the poor and helping the lepers. When her husband died, she sold all her material possessions and gave the money to the poor. She did not want any part in governing the kingdom which was left to her, and decided to become a Poor Clare nun in the monastery at Sandec. She would spend the rest of her life in contemplative prayer and did not allow anyone to refer to her past role as Grand Duchess of Poland.
St Kinga, pray for us.

Living in the Wider World: learn some of the principles of Catholic Social Teaching to help them to live in communities in the way God intends. Teaching includes the common good, the human person, social relationships and stewardship. Further learning on careers, where value will be placed on how school and on-going learning options contribute to our future work opportunities. Consider financial stewardship through budgeting activities, discussions about the pros and cons of different payment methods, and learning about financial risks. This is all underpinned by the religious understanding that true happiness comes from knowing God’s love and finding our identity and worth in Him.
