Church
School happens every week after the 9:00 a.m. Mass. Following Communion,
our Church School teachers meet all children ages 4 & up at the
rear of the church and head up to the third floor. The Church of the
Advent uses a Montessori-based curriculum called Godly Play. The goal
of Godly Play is to teach children the art of using religious language – parable,
sacred story, silence, and liturgical action – to help interpret
the events of their daily lives. Godly Play teachers tell Bible stories
using multi-sensory materials that encourage children to enter into
the stories and relate them to their personal experiences.
