Resources for Religious Formation at Home…
During the next few weeks, while children are at home and there are no religious education classes available, publishing companies are offering resources to be used at home. If you hear of any other companies offering similar, please let us know so we can add the information.
Pflaum Publishing Co is offering free resources for use at home. Parish coordinators of religious education can download their weekly reflections and activities for different age levels from preschool to grade 8, and email to parents for their home study. Use the link below for more information. If you have trouble setting up an account, please email me at [email protected], and I will connect you with our representative.
