Our class saint is: St Bernadette

Feast day: 16th April

Bernadette was born in 1844 in Lourdes, in France. 

Bernadette was often sick she suffered from asthma.  Her family were very poor.

Whilst gathering firewood, a beautiful lady appeared to her in a cave. Bernadette saw the lady eighteen times.  The lady asked her to dig a little home in the ground and to wash her face. 

Suddenly a spring started to flow. Bathing in the spring has cured many pilgrims.
