Together in Spirit

Seekers - Grades 6-8

Contact Sara Knoll at 651-784-3015 x105 or at SaraK@SaintJosephsParish.org for questions about Seekers - Grades 6-8.

Our Seekers (Grades 6-8) will be using the curriculum Connect! Bringing Faith to Life. This program presents the core teachings of the Catholic faith to young people in a way that helps them connect learning with living. Active and engaging lessons encourage honest reflection and meaning making. The young adults are placed in large and small groups. This approach is based on Jesus when he formed a "community of believers/disciples." Core teachings are explored through a variety of creative learning styles: discussions, video, art, music, drama, prayer services and hands-on play. These students will be asked to participate in service projects throughout the year.
