More about these coloring pages

In the classroom, my students were excited to color the St Pope John Paul II coloring page. They enjoyed using their crayons to depict the saint blessing children and speaking to large crowds. We often discuss how he said, 'Be not afraid!' (John Paul II) when sharing his message of hope. This lesson aligns beautifully with our recent focus on compassion and service to others. Having a mix of images helps keep the kids engaged. One of my students, who is 8, particularly liked the picture of St John Paul II with the young people, reminding us that he always cared for the youth. I keep these pages in my Sunday school binder so we can revisit them during our lessons about saints and their contributions to the Church.
