E-BOOK: It's a Mystery! The Household of God

Sandra Garant

This fourth retreat introduces children, through daily lessons, games, songs, and art projects, to the following five dogmas: Christ founded the Catholic Church; His Church is one, holy, catholic, and apostolic; Peter was the first among all the apostles and his successors are the Popes; Bishops are the successors of the apostles; in the final decision on doctrines regarding faith and morals, the Church is infallible.

The theme of this retreat is architecture, including building with inexpensive materials, learning about architectural elements (arches and gargoyles), presentations on famous or local cathedrals, and the concept of "living stones" within the Church.

Enter the house of God and:

Meet the head of the Church
Build towers and arches
Discover gargoyles
Play Knights to the King
Enjoy "Stones and Mortar"
Learn the four marks of the Catholic Church

Two retreats in one: Ages 2 to 5 & Ages 5 to 12. Includes manual and appendix of reproducible activities and masters. 86 pages.

“We love the retreats we ordered - can't wait to get started!”

“Our family & others from our Parish organized a "Household of God" Retreat - 1 lesson every 2 weeks for 6 - 2 hour sessions (the 6th week being the Closing Ceremonies) at our Parish this fall. We found the material to be wonderful. It engaged the children, was fun, taught Catholic truths well, and we were able to easily incorporate almost every activity from the material. We had about 50 children registered (split into 4 classes of similar ages) and somehow attracted 25 adult and teen volunteers! We supplemented it with a selection of Catholic and Christian music songs that fit into the daily themes (the children learned actions to them). I'd be happy to share with others how it went and the songs we used to supplement. We also made about 100 milk carton blocks to build towers with - they were a smashing (literally) hit! Oh, yes, we also wrote short skits for each day lesson to introduce the topic complete with an object. Happy to share ideas! ”
