Experience the Guardian Angel Difference!
Welcome to the Guardian Angel Religous Education website. Our goal is that our students will come to grow in knowledge, love and friendship with our Lord, Jesus. We offer a personalized approach to Religoius Education and acknowledge the different learning slyles of each child. Classes are taught by caring and knowlegable catechists who love to share their faith with our children. To achieve this goal, our dedicated catechists use various teaching aids including workbooks, music, arts/crafts, videos, etc. We also offer Religous Education for Special Needs and Challenges students. Please call our office at 201-327-0352 to arrange for a visit.
This fun and engaging series by Loyola Press uses popular children's books as a springboard for entering into imaginative prayer. Pray Me a Story is designed for use by catechists, religion teachers, parents, grandparents - anyone who prays with children. Turn your next "bedtime story" into a "praytime story."
We currently have the following PRAY ME A STORY series available:
The Kissing Hand, The Gift of Nothing, Horton Hears a Who, Drop by Drop, and The Rainbow Fish.
Please contact the Religious Education Office at 201-327-0352, x208 for information.
