In March, we concluded our Lenten journey with a field trip to Holy Family Church, the first Catholic church in Auburn. Father Gathenya welcomed our students, who were in awe of the beauty and magnificence of the church architecture. As we prayed the life-size Stations of the Cross and discussed the people and events in the stained glass windows, parents and children were engaged and inquisitive learning about the Catholic faith.
The Easter season has been filled with studying, âall things bright and beautiful. All creatures great and small, all things wise and wonderful. The Lord God made them all.â (Cecil F. Alexander, April recitation.) We bid farewell to the ocean, flew into the sky exploring some intriguing creatures that fly, and finally landed on day six of Creation to begin our study of land animals. âHe gave us eyes to see them, and lips that we might tell; How great is God Almighty, Who hath made all things well.â
