It is Year 5’s Class Saint day and today as in a liturgy, they reflected on the life of Saint Oscar Romero and heard how he knew that his actions could cost him his life but continued to advocate for those who were oppressed anyway. The reading came from the Gospel of Saint Luke (6 17:23), with a key focus being on Jesus’ words:

“Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God.”

The children reflected on the Gospel and then spent some time creating their own versions of a Romero cross.
