Speaking about God with Children
These sessions, offered quarterly, last a brisk hour (7:00-7:59pm). A noted guide offers 35 minutes as an opening presentation, and then fields questions and dialogues with those in attendance.
Our inaugural session featured Ann Garrido, who teaches theology & ministry at Aquinas Institute in St. Louis. Ann is author of Mustard Seed Preaching; wife, mother, & catechist/faith-guide to the young.
Her theme: How do you answer the everyday and sometimes hard questions children ask about God? Discover how to talk with children about God through simple & easy-to-use techniques!

Enjoy these three videos, brought to you by students of our Kindergarten (Miss Kerry LaDue, teacher) and First Grade (Miss Stephanie Fuller, teacher). For Catholic Schools Week, we wanted to find a compelling way for these young children to share a joyful message of hope and faith.
