Finding God’s emphasis on Scripture, prayer, and
Church Tradition nurtures children every step of the way on their journey to
becoming disciples of Jesus and leads them into a lasting love for the Church.
Employing the
spirituality of St. Ignatius of Loyola, Finding God provides
all the tools to engage the whole child—mind, heart, and soul—uniquely guiding
children to practice prayer and reflection, to explore Scripture, and to find
God in all things.
Finding God: Our
Response to God’s Gifts is
based on a spiral curriculum that integrates the fundamental themes of
the
Catechism of the Catholic Church with Scripture and
Catholic Social Teachings. As children are introduced to and revisit concepts
and vocabulary from one year to the next, their knowledge and experience both
broaden and deepen as they grow in faith as committed disciples of Jesus.
Program Benefits
Scripture and
Tradition: Engaging presentation
provides catechists and teachers with a meaningful opportunity to proclaim the
Good News and pass on our Catholic faith to the next generation.
Prayer: Relevant opportunities help children integrate
traditional prayer into daily life.
Multisensory
Learning: Exploring Faith
Through Art prints, music,
and video suggestions serve a variety of learning styles.
