Saint In A Cave?

Did you know that Saint Giles was a wealthy young man who loved to help the poor? He was so kind and generous that everyone started thinking he was really great. Saint Giles didn't like all of the attention. He thought that people should be thinking that God was really great, so he went off to live by himself in a dark forest - in a cave! Sounds like a saint a bear could really relate to. Anyway, God didn't let him stay hidden for long, and he ended up founding a large monastery and serving as the monastery's first Abbot.

I learned all of this and more at J Club - a Place for Catholic Kids. They have a Saint of the Day, a Joke of the Day, and more. Check it out HERE.
