Saint Companions

Okay, so you know how sometimes we have friends who we really like and spend a lot of time with? Well, that's kind of like what a saint companion is.

A saint is someone who was really good and holy when they were alive, and people still think they were really important even after they die. These people are important to lots of people because they can help us feel closer to God and be good, too.

A saint companion is like a friend or helper that you choose who is a saint. When you pick a saint companion, you choose someone who you think you would like, or someone who can help you with something like being brave, being kind, or being thankful.

You can talk to your saint companion when you need help or advice, and they can pray for you to God to help you feel better or do the right thing.

So, it's like having a really good friend who is also really good at being good and helpful, and you can ask them for help and they will always be there for you!
