Craft: St. Catherine of Siena Set the World on Fire

“Be who God meant you to be and you will set the world on fire” is one of St. Catherine of Siena’s most famous quotes. St. Catherine of Siena was brave in a time of uncertainty in the Catholic Church. When the anti-pope help the office in Rome, she persuaded the Pope to take it back. We encourage our children to not stand by and let immorality influence them but to stand up and proclaim what is right.
