In Pennsylvania, students walk the
straight and narrow
Resisting temptation is never easy, and
neither is teaching about it in a way
that will get students involved. But
Connie Stewart, a fifth-grade catechist
at St. Teresa of Avila Parish in
Perrysville, PA, has done just that.
Students identify temptations they face,
then volunteers walk a “beam” (a 2” x 4”
board or strip of tape) and role play
their response to various scenarios.
Read more about this activity, and how
Connie connects it to the sacrament of
Reconciliation, in the
April issue
of the of the Pflaum
Gospel Weeklies Newsletter. If you’re
