Theology of the Body:
During the month of October, our teachers will be implementing our new family life curriculum Theology of the Body. Through this curriculum, inspired by the teachings of Pope John Paul II, children gain an understanding of who God is, who they are as image-bearers of God, male or female, and how they fit into the world. Please visit the following website for more information about this curriculum.
