October 1st: Feast Day of St. Thérèse of Lisieux
Monday is the Feast Day of St. Thérèse of Lisieux and on our website you can read a short biography and I have also used www.animoto.com to create a short reflective slideshow about St.Thérèse which could be used to start or end a class: http://animoto.com/play/JYSIvcPyCFVheDK6o6RLog
October 2nd: Gandhi’s birthday; International Day of Nonviolence
Tuesday is Gandhi’s birthday and International Nonviolence Day and many thanks to Martin McMullan from Beneavin College for sharing a PowerPoint about the day: Nonviolence Day 2012 PowerPoint.

October 4th: Feast Day of St. Francis of Assisi
Thursday is the Feast Day of St. Francis of Assisi and on our website you can download a biography of St. Francis and there is a list of links to useful websites for further resources. You may also like to tie in the feast of St. Francis with stewardship & creation and you will find plenty of resources in our Stewardship & Creation Resources section of the website.
