All the children participate in All Saints' glorious celebration on Easter Day. All Saints uses a creative new curriculum entitled Faith, Love, and Freedom, for kindergarten through fifth grade classes. Faith, Love, and Freedom is a storytelling program that uses quality children's literature to explore the Christian story through the Bible, the sacraments and liturgical life, and the personal stories of classmates and of volunteers who teach the classes. The curriculum seeks to encourage the social, ethical and spiritual development of children by providing them with role models of Christian life. It explores five units each year, incorporating both the Hebrew Scriptures and the New Testament on a variety of themes that follow the church seasons.
Volunteers teach in teams of three or four per class.
This allows for continuity in the classroom but also recognizes that adults benefit from time out of the classroom, whether in adult education or other ministry areas of the church. Each cycle builds on the same four themes - self, society, service, and sexuality. With these themes in mind, young people come together to explore scripture and the sacramental life. This model of Christian formation also includes several important ritual events. For middle school students the ritual is referred to as Rite 13, marking their thirteenth birthday.
