Fruits of the Spirit Song by Steve Green
It's a little kid song, but it's also an easy, catchy way to memorize the Fruits of the Spirit!
**When St. Jerome translated the Bible into Latin, his version included three additional fruits of the Spirit: generosity, modesty, and chastity. Those three aren't in the song!

"Are You Called to Be a Missionary?" by Fr. Mike Schmitz
The 5th grade watched this video as part of their lesson on the Baptismal call (to be reinforced later in Confirmation) to give witness to their faith.
"What really matters about the missionary is not the legs, but the heart." ❤️
