Being faith-filled means that we act in a way that helps others and praises God. We are made by God to serve others, by being faith-filled we can make this world a better place. 

 Catholic Social Teaching: Dignity of work.

 God has given us unique gifts and talents. We must use these gifts within the workplace to serve others. All vocations are equally important and God calls us to use our talents to help others. 

Our Class saint is St Bernadette. 

Our Lady appeared to  St Bernadette in Lourdes 18 times!

Our Lady asked St Bernadette to drink from the dirty water in the stream. St Bernadette did so without questioning and the next day came back to find the water was clean. It was later found that the water had miraculous healing powers making Lourdes a place of pilgrimage for many people.  

Our Lady told St Bernadette that she wanted a chapel to be built in Lourdes. St Bernadette was strong to her faith even when others questioned her. Due to her love for God and loyalty to her faith she convinced others to build the chapel which is now visited by millions of people each year. 

We are going to use Bernadette example for us this year.
