Catholic Identity

If there is one word that we should never tire of repeating, it is this: dialogue. We are called to promote a culture of dialogue by every possible means and thus to rebuild the fabric of society.’

St. Mel's Parish Sacramental Program ~

Godly Play ~

A teaching & learning strategy we use at St. Mel's to engage in Scripture is Godly Play. Godly Play is a way of making meaning through story, wonder, and play. It nurtures our spiritual lives by honoring the centrality, competency, and capacity of children. Below are some of the wondering & reflections for the Creation Story by our P/1/2 students.
