Mrs Barden is the teacher in our Year Three class. Our PE day is Monday.

Class Saint

St Kinga. Patron Saint of Poland. Feast day is 24th July. 

 

Kinga became princess when her husband ascended the throne as High Duke of Poland. During her reign, Kinga got involved in charitable works such as visiting the poor and helping the lepers. When her husband died, she sold all her material possessions and gave the money to the poor. She did not want any part in governing the kingdom which was left to her, and decided to become a Poor Clare nun in the monastery at Sandec. She would spend the rest of her life in contemplative prayer and did not allow anyone to refer to her past role as Grand Duchess of Poland.

St Kinga, pray for us.
