    To support administrators with Year 1 of the implementation of the Niagara Catholic’s next three year theological theme – “One Family in Christ: Know, Love, Serve Him”, the embedded resource package explores ONE FAMILY IN CHRIST: KNOW HIM   for the entire 2015-16 academic year.
     
    The sub-themes at a glance are:
     
    Month
    		 
    September One Family in Christ
    October Knowing Him in Charity
    November Knowing Him through the Saints
    December Knowing Him in Advent
    January Knowing Him through the Word
    February Knowing Him in Love and Service
    March Knowing Him through Lent
    April Knowing Him in Creation
    May Knowing Him in Prayer
    June Knowing Him in Gratitude


    Within the resource package, administrators will find explanations of the monthly subthemes which can be adapted for school newsletters and suggested daily Morning Prayers. Principals are encouraged to use and adapt the materials within the resource and to share it with their staff members. The ONE FAMILY IN CHRIST: KNOW HIM Resource 2015-16 will also be accessible through Docushare, via the Faith Formation toggle.

    These monthly sub-themes are highlighted in the Niagara Catholic Student Agenda which is rich in activities designed to invite students and their families to know Christ more intimately.

     

    To further support ONE FAMILY IN CHRIST: KNOW HIM theme and the instruction and evaluation of the Religion and Family Life curriculum, the Religion Teacher Helper will be sent out periodically to every staff Religion and Family Life Rep for distribution. Elementary Chaplaincy Leaders and the Religion and Family Life Consultant can work with classroom teachers to develop and model engaging, interactive religion lessons upon request.
