Grade 7- Parent Information Meeting for Theology of the Body for Teens- Middle School Edition 
Wednesday, January 16 at 6:00 in the church
Pope John Paul II delivered a profoundly beautiful vision of human sexuality that he called the Theology of the Body. It is revolutionizing the way parents and educators teach morality and chastity to youth, as it provides the “whys” behind the “whats,” paving the way to true freedom and happiness .   Theology of the Body for Teens: Middle School Edition is an exciting and dynamic program based on Pope John Paul II’s revolutionary Theology of the Body that will be taught to the 7th graders beginning this week.  Parents are invited to attend an information session to learn more about the program on Wednesday, January 16 in the church.  Please contact Kristia Loeder with any questions.   kristia.loeder@st-patrick-parish.com
