Religious Education Highlights
Dear
Religious Education Families:
At this time of year, I look back at some of the highlights. Your child, the
other students and I have shared prayer, Scripture reflections and other
activities that helped us learn about Jesus, Scripture, our church, the
sacraments and the liturgical year. I could say that the “end result” is that
our faith is stronger.
But
I won’t say that. Not because our faith is NOT stronger, but because there is
no “end result.” Every day brings us learning opportunities. During the coming
months, you and your child may not study a textbook, but you will have
countless opportunities to live the teachings of Jesus about love, compassion,
forgiveness, generosity, and justice; and in that way, learn more about our
faith. My prayer for the time ahead is that we learn something new about faith
every day, not in a textbook but in living with love the teaching of Jesus.
Blessings on your families through the summer. – Nancy Chandler, DRE
