Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton was important because she started the first Catholic school in America. The school was free and to help the poor still be close to God. She also created many things for kids and the poor even though she went through a tough time. She was able to give even though she lost a lot. She still contributed and helped other when her husband died and became poor. Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton also started an orphanage for kids. This may not sound very important but not only was she poor. She created the first Catholic school in America. That helped the Catholic Religion be more widespread and to also show people how special God is. The final thing that she did that I thought was very important was the organization she made, Sisters of Charity. Sisters of Charity was a group of sisters in the church to help and serve the poor. Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton was critical to the Catholic church because she contributed a lot to the

He then grew up to become a wealthy local businessman of South-east Ireland, mainly County Waterford. He was concerned by the lack of education and feared for the spiritual well-being of the youth and the appalling conditions people had to live in. Therefore, one of the core and famous works of the Irish Christian Brothers was to get involved in ministries with the poor and the sick. This is when he decided to found a religious movement which dedicated it’s time to the disadvantaged youth and he did so with the support of Dr Thomas Hussey, the Catholic Bishop of Waterford. In a 150th Anniversary Yearbook of Edmund Rice, edited by J. Matthew Feheney, it comments: “he began to feel the call to give up his business and devote himself fulltime to the work of educating poor

Hildegard influenced the Church in many ways. She spread the word of God and preached what God had wanted her too. She is someone who can be looked up upon, and known for her amazing work as a songwriter, book writer, and preacher. The visions she had received from God were truly a miracle, and the fact that she shared her life with all of us made it even more heroic. She stood proud and tall for her faith, and did not care who did not believe her. St. Hildegard converted many people into the Christian faith by announcing the love that God has for each of his children, and he says that each of us is a “living spark”. People come into his kingdom to feel warm and welcome with others arms spread wide. Her life began hard, being sickly as a baby, losing her mother and father, but somewhere in the middle God found her. Little did she know she was given a special gift from above. She not only had the visions but was brave enough to tell the world about them. She deserved to be announced a Saint, and the church will be influenced by her story

She inspires me because she had the courage to choose her own path and become Christian, at the age of 63, after her divorce with the Roman Emperor. She converted at the time when her son, Constantine, made Christianity the official Religion of Rome.

Like many communities in Tennessee, Briceville's founding was tied to coal mining. Originally known as Slatestone Hollow, early miners used wagons to haul coal to Knoxville until the railroad connected Knoxville and Coal Creek. In 1888, Calvin Brice, who was then the president of the Lake Erie and Western Railroad and would later serve a single term in the U.S. Senate, requested the construction of a spur connecting Slatestone Hollow with Coal Creek. Upon completion of the spur, the community was renamed in Brice's honor. Although the population of Briceville has risen and fallen since the community's founding, residents have never been short of pests. Two common pests found in the area are bed bugs and fleas.

•     Legion of Mary: This sodality had its origins in Ireland and was founded by Frank Duff, a common man.

This was joined by the many parishioners.

P.E. Fun. Breana has a great deal of fun at Miller. Her favorite, however, is P.E. She loves the fact that she can play basketball, volleyball, and soccer during her free time. Of course, that’s not all. Her friends have P.E with her too, so she also admires that she can hang out with her friends.

Not much is recorded of his birth, childhood, or adolescence. Whether it was due to loss of documentation or no documentation at all, the only information that has survived the test of time was that Clement of Dunblane was born in Scotland in the year of 1200 (“Undiscovered Scotland”). He was a Scotsman by birth and his native tongue was Gaelic (Rabenstein, 1998). He later went on to pursue an education at the University of Paris, during this time he received his habit and grew fairly close to a man who is now known as Saint Dominic (“March 19 Blessed Clement of Dunblane”, 2011). He was admitted into the Dominican Order of Paris in 1219. The Order of preachers is a Catholic group that was originally created by Saint Dominic

This is where he met Mary Mackillop, founding the Sisters of St Joseph. A year later he accepted the position of director general of the Catholic schools. This was a very controversial position at this time. He also became the chaplain and secretary to Bishop Sheil.

Julian was born in 1342 in Norwich, England and spent most of her life as an anchorite, a recluse living alone in an closed room attached to the parish church of St Julian of LeMans at Conisford in Norwich. Though few biographic details are known about Julian, it is likely she came from a wealth family as anchoresses had to prove they could support themselves through some form of income before they could be enclosed. Julian’s name could have been her baptism name or she may have followed the custom of taking the name of the saint attached to the church of which she became an anchorite.

They were from two different families, two of which had animosity between them. Brigit and Bres hoped that their union would bring the two families together, however it only started war. Brigit gave birth to three sons, all of which became famous warriors. When the war between the two families broke out, Bridget’s son, Ruadon, stuck and killed the other families son, but before he drew his last breath struck and killed Ruadon. This sent both families into utter sadness and despair. It is said that Bridget let out a cry of sorrow so heart wrenching, everyone could hear. This event, however, unified Bridget’s role as a Goddess of peace and Unity. The two families stopped fighting after this event. Eventually the love and respect for the Goddess Bridget brought unity to the Celts who were spread throughout Europe.

After the Revolution she founded a house for repentant prostitutes in Bordeaux called “The Miséricorde.”

In our religion assignment, we learnt about saint Brigid. From these lessons, I have learnt that Brigid was a kind person who would drop everything to help the poor. Brigid has lots of different legends but what they all have in common is that Brigid is a caring and courageous woman who inspires us to step up to what we believe is right. She helped people in need even if they looked different, were Christian, had a disease but she mainly helped the people who didn’t have enough money or jobs that other people called the ‘Lower
