Feast Day of St Catherine of Siena

Last week we acknowledged the Feast Day of St Catherine of Siena. This was symbolic for the Gioia House girls because Gioia House was named after St Catherine of Siena. The word ‘gioia’ is joy in Italian, which links to Catherine of Siena and the joyfulness she exuded during her childhood and adolescence. Students in 6 Taylor decorated our Gioia House prayer space with quotes and symbols of St Catherine of Siena, such as a heart, ring, lily, or a cross.
