Saints

This is my wordle of all the words related to all Saints. I had words like fair, brave, loving etc. I learnt from this that Saints are the same as everyone.  

St Patrick

Jesus the Model Teacher

In R.E I learnt Jesus was also a teacher when he was still walking on earth.

The Cathedral

The Cathedral Recount Writing

St Pius X Catholic School went on a trip to the St Patrick Cathedral in town. We went  by bus. I had to look after my soul friend from Room 1. He is a new entrant boy.  I was excited but uncertain about this trip as this was my first time going to a Cathedral.

Once we arrived, we  had to wait until we were allowed to go inside the church.  We entered through the entrance on the left side of the church. This is the Door of Mercy of our diocese.  We blessed ourselves with holy water from a massive font at the side.

After that, we were guided to our seats, and we waited for mass to start. It was such a beautiful mass. The church had a lot of chairs, it had more chairs than our church, it also had a much bigger altar than our one. There were a lot of nice things about this church.

After mass we went to eat lunch, and we waited for the bus to come. Overall I thought that was a really fun school trip, and I can’t wait to go to another cathedral in the future.

Jesus is Tested in Wilderness

My Best R.E Work

Wednesday 09th March 2016

Fr Francis Vernon Douglas

Fr Douglas was born on 22nd May 1910 in Wellington. He attended all his school sports, the sports he played were rugby, cricket, handball, and boxing. After he finished school he worked at a post office, he worked there for a while and then he felt the need to become a priest. In 1938 he sailed to the Philippines and arrived in his new parish of Pililla in July. He preached good news about God in the Philippines.

In 1941 the Japanese invaded the Philippines, Fr Douglas he could’ve ran away, but he stayed with his people knowing what was going to come. The Japanese integrated him because they thought if he was a priest he would be a spy. They thought he knew where the Philippine Guerillas where, Fr Douglas did know but he didn’t tell them.

He was water tortured and had a big piece of wood on his stomach and the soldiers would jump up and down on his stomach. Fr Douglas was last seen being dragged out a church and into a military truck. They believed he died because when the truck came back his body wasn’t in it. It is believed he was put to death in 10 July 1943.

Holy Spirit Prayer

Report on Jesus Getting Baptized

To identify how Jesus was empowered by the Holy Spirit?

‘Voice heard from the skies when it opened’

On a calm sunny afternoon while Jesus was getting baptized at the river Jordan, by John the Baptist, the sky opened, and a voice came from nowhere  “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.” Some people say it was God from heaven and some people say aliens. Someone from the audience said “ Is Jesus God son?”

Holy Spirit

This week I am going to find out about how the holy spirit works in the bible.
