Confessionator741 Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 im goin trick or treatin as St. Francis for halloween haha.. ure never too old to trick or treat! espec. when ure not only collectin candy, but money 4 good causes! im goin with him!!! we will be having... a St. Francis a St. Michael a St. Juan Diego a Blessed Mother Teresa and many more.. it will be a great evening. i will be Juan Diego, and i cant wait... as for help for you...check out a saints book or website...look up in the back common symbols of a particular saint. Find easily recognizable saints from there... also, if you have sports kids, or musical kids, you can find the patron saints of their particular activity. im sure they will enjoy it if they are able to associate with it. Good Luck! B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

immaculata Posted October 30, 2003 Author Share Posted October 30, 2003 One of the girls stayed home sick, the other one refused to dress up, but April went as St. Catherine of Siena!!! :D She thought the costume was cool, and we talked about St. Catherine recieving the stigmata and everything.. Then, when it was time for the class party, she got embarressed and took it off. Oh well!! Peer pressure, I tell ya...... *sigh* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 Another beati who was martyred before she could be violated was Blessed Antonia. She is basically another "Maria Goretti." Sebastian is the patron of athletes. Jocks would love him. What a martyrdom he suffered! Shot with arrows. St. Lawrence was roasted alive... Oh, what they've suffered for the Faith, and these poor girls are too embarassed to even wear an outfit depicting them.... Would that we could clothe our souls with the grace that they had!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLAZEr Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 Our Youth Group was gonna do a "St. Lawrence Tanning Club" . . . we were gonna make T-Shirts and go to the beach . . . the T Shirts say "St. Lawrence Tanning Club" on the front with an image of man being roasted on a grill And on the back it says "Turn me over now, this side is done." Which is what St. Lawrence supposedly said . . . I thought it was cool, but we never got it off the ground . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 Yeah, that sounds great, but I think like at the bottom, or on the back, you should put something like, "St. Lawrence, martyr, Rome Italy, 258 A.D. Toasted for Christ." Gives peeps something to "chew on." Of course, by now, you know how I like to chew...!!!!! Pax Christi. <>< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carrie Posted November 1, 2003 Share Posted November 1, 2003 I looked it up and came up with the name St. Caroline. Only she is not Italian but Polish and was killed before she could be violated too. Sound familiar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Didacus Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 For CCD, we're having the kids dress up as saints.. And of course, my class doesn't want to participate.. I've got three high school girls who think going to church is like, the lamest thing ever. Do you guys have any ideas of simple saint costumes I might persuade them to wear?? I somehow have to convince them that being Catholic is cool. B) I once dressed as Jesus, my friend as God the Father and we had a bird between us. Together we were the dressed as the Trinity.

dominicansoul Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 I've never dressed up as a Saint for Halloween... My costumes are always lame non-spooky ones of course, but lame nonetheless... like this year i think I'm going to be a jail bird... my entire unit at work will dress in the stripes and have plastic ball and chains on our ankles...I think the boss is dressing like a warden... seems pretty appropriate to me... I told her to bring her German Shepherd to work that day, for added dramatic effect... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IgnatiusofLoyola Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Before she entered, Laetitia Crucis made herself a Halloween costume of St. Catherine of Siena from old white sheets. Interestingly, St. Catherine of Siena continued to "stalk" her, and when she was clothed she become Sister Mary Catherine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
