On Nov. 1, fourth-graders at Our Mother of Perpetual Help (OMPH) School in Ephrata marked All Saints' Day by remembering the saints who have gone before with a special presentation to the school community and families.
Under the direction of teacher Theresa Chanko, students chose and researched the life of a saint. Students then dressed in costume and told the story of that saint's life to their schoolmates. The presentations provided historical facts about the saints and offered insight into the lives of these people who dedicated their lives to the teachings of Jesus Christ. Some of the men and women chosen by students this year included St. Martin dePorres, St. Domenic Savio, St. Teresa of Calcutta, and St. Apollonia.
OMPH School welcomes children from local Catholic churches, as well as interested members of the general community. For more information, readers may call 717-738-2414 or visit http://www.omph.org.
