THURSDAY: Discover Faith-Based Communities
Catholic schools are gathering places for families of all faiths. By inviting leaders of different faiths, you are opening up an opportunity for important discussion as well as building ambassadors in their communities to send children to your school.
TIP: Ask if you can visit their faith community as well, so you can grow in your own perspective and understanding.
Ideas for Discover Faith-Based Communities
- Host an interfaith celebration and prayer service that celebrates and shares the differences and similarities of faiths.
- Have current students invite religious leaders to a breakfast or lunch. By witnessing your school community firsthand, faith leaders can work with you to form the entire child in mind, body and spirit.
- Incorporate lessons on other faith denominations into the academic curriculum. Allow students to engage in conversations about the similarities and differences between other faiths and their own.
