Steps to Becoming A Catholic Saint- Presentation, Graphic Organizer, and Handout

Steps to Becoming A Catholic Saint:

Expand your student's knowledge of the saints to include the steps to becoming a Catholic saint and the canonization process. This interactive presentation for 3rd-5th grade clearly explains a somewhat confusing process. A "Pathway to Sainthood " handout is included. This is a great sheet for students to use to follow the steps. Also included is a graphic organizer that can be used to research a Saint.

One of the best features of this resource is that it is also guided for the teacher. You don't need to be a theology major to teach the steps to becoming a Catholic saint confidently! Just make copies, and you will be ready to go!

The interactive presentation includes:

• Pathway handout for students to use to follow the steps
• Graphic Organizer for a report on a favorite saint.
• List of great saints for children to research with links to three great websites.

By the end of this lesson, students will be able to answer these questions:

• What are saints?
• Do you have to be perfect to become a saint?
• Name some men, women, and children who are saints.
• What is the Litany of Saints?
• What are patron saints?
• What are martyrs?
• What are the steps to becoming a Catholic saint?
• Does the Pope "make" someone a saint?
• What happens during the canonization Mass?
