Image of God (Preschool / Kindergarten)

The Image of God religion series is an exciting and comprehensive Catholic program that has as its foundation the creation of human beings in God’s own likeness. The greatest confirmation of man’s unique dignity is the Incarnation of Christ, the God-man who is the perfect image of the Father and who reveals God as Love, especially by the Cross and Resurrection. In revealing God, Christ showed us who we are and how to act. This emphasis on the dignity of the individual child as the foundation of this series is taken from Scripture, the documents of Vatican II, and the writing of John Paul II.

Our Subscribing Principles

  1. Complete adherence to the teachings of the Magisterium of the Roman Catholic Church and the Pope.
  2. Acceptance of the right and duty of parents to be the primary educators of their children
  3. This teaching enterprise is a lay endeavour in order to demonstrate to the students the faith of their parents.
  4. Parents as well as their children are to take part in this endeavour either as instructors or as participants in a parents' formation class. 
  5. The framework of the teaching enterprise is a community effort. As such, a fraternal bond and social interaction between families is to be fostered. 
  6. There is an element of apostolate for individuals and the group to follow the Holy Father's call to evangelize.
