For All the Saints!

A few special saints and other holy people came by last night for a party in their honor! Below are a few pictures of our guests! Did you guess who they are?


Back: Bl. Gabriella Sagheddo, St. John Bosco, The Blue Nun, Bl Teresa of Calcutta, St. Lawrence, St. Fiacre,
Front: St. Peter of Verona, St. Cecilia, St. Clare. Peeping from behind is Sr. Maria who put a grey wig on her head and said, "I'm my grandmother Maria of Menfi. If she could live with my grandfather than she WAS a SAINT!"


Sr. Diana Marie as a young Mother Teresa!


Sr. Janlyn as St. Cecilia.


Sr. Joseph Maria as Don Bosco! Special thanks to Fr. Michael Barone for the Cassock and Biretta!


Sr. Maria Teresa as St. Clare.


Sr. Mary Catharine as Bl. Gabriella Sagheddo who offered life for Christian Unity.



Sr. Denise Marie as St. Peter of Verona, first martyr of the Order.


Sr. Judith Miryam as the Blue Nun! We stock holy water the way some people stock wine cellars and that Blue Nun bottle is great for Holy Water!

Oh, you all look GREAT! And you know, I never considered putting holy water in a wine bottle...hmmm.....


Wondering...did you use painter's tape to make the stripes for Bl. Mother Teresa? A couple years ago one of our high school students dressed up as her for Vacation Bible School (saint of the day), and I still have the "habit" in my office: a white sheet with painter's tape! Unfortunately it's peeling and needs to be redone so am looking for other ideas if you have any!

God bless and blessed Feast of All Saints (and tomorrow, All Souls!)

Lovely! St. Clare was my favorite, until I saw St. Peter Martyr! I learned his story from seeing him in a fresco (not Fra Angelico's but the kind where he has one knife in his shoulder and another in his skull) and wondering "What on earth??"
