In my research of St. Sebastian I found that he is the Patron Saint of athletes. When he died he was nailed to a tree and shot with arrows. He died for his faith and so he is a martyr. St. Sebastian served in the Roman army and was known for his endurance and speed.
St. Sebastian is an amazing Saint everyone should know and learn about.

In my research, Saint Ignatius Antioch was a very good man. He did many wonderful things to other people and kids that made them happy! He was born in c. 50 and died in c.107. The saddest thing was that he died by being thrown to the beast in the fields.
If you would like to learn more about Saint Ignatius Antioch go to my glogster!I like St. Bernadette because I think shes a good role model. When she was young, she saw apparitions of Mary. As she kept going back, people thought she was a blasphemist, and even accused her as such. Bernadette continued to put her faith forward and ignored the people. I believe that makes her a role model because she didn't let anything get between her and her faith. Not even the priest or her parents believed her. When she was at the grotto, she ate dirt in front of a whole crowd of people and it became a spring. Bernadette was the only one who could see Mary. But she also has many qualities.
Bernadette has three main qualities and they all blend together. Perseverance, love and loyalty. She shows perseverance when she gets a ton of people questioning her, she keeps going back. This is also a sign of love for her faith and in Mary and God. Bernadette stops at nothing to make sure that nothing gets between her and her spiritual life. She shows loyalty to Mary and her prayer by returning to the grotto. When all these come together, she was really faithful and strong in her spiritual life. But then again, these are only three of her many qualities.

Saint Maria Goretti was sewing in her home while her family was in the fields. She tried her best to avoid very serious sins. Maria lived with more than one family, and a man tried to force her to sin. She said to him that she would rather die than disobey God's Commandments. Being angry, he grabbed a knife and stabbed her eight times. He tried to leave but then she screamed, and so he stabbed her six more times. At the Hospital, she received communion, and forgave Alessandro. She forgave the man that stabbed her. Most people don't do that, but she did. She inspires me because of her forgiving nature. At her canonization, Alessandro was there with her family. They forgave him to. That is something that we all should attempt to do. She was my age, and so I want to be like her as best as I can.
