The work of the atrium allows children to participate more fully in the liturgy and life in the Church, to pray and listen to God more deeply and also develops a deep knowledge of the Bible and biblical characters and themes.
Mary Ellen Galvan, Atrium Coordinator
The Atrium seeks to provide space and time for each student to draw closer to God.
Students come to recognize the plan God has acted on in our Salvation History from the earliest times and to also recognize that each of us is invited to respond to God's actions and plan.
The Atrium is based on a Montessori model. Students receive presentations on materials developed from scripture and liturgy. They are invited to choose their own work as they explore these themes more deeply.
