Looking for a creative Saint Paul activity to mark this Year of Saint Paul?
My good friend and colleague, Jeanette Graham has put together a wonderfully informative and engaging play about the life of Saint Paul in three acts.
This will be a great way to bring Saint Paul “to life” for your class, your RE program, your school, or your parish. Enjoy!
A Play in Three Acts to Celebrate the Year of Saint Paul, 2008-2009

By now, you are probably aware of a new movie about to be released: Paul, Apostle of Christ, starring James Faulkner as St. Paul and Jim Caviezel as St. Luke. The movie, to be released next week, is rated PG-13 and tells the story of how “two men struggle against a determined emperor and the frailties of the human spirit in order to live out the Gospel of Jesus.” (IMDB) As happened when the Church celebrated […]
Arrivederci! We’re off to Italy today as we begin our VIRTUAL Pilgrimage to join in the celebration of the “Day for Catechists” during the Year of Faith in Rome. The nice thing about a virtual pilgrimage is: NO CONNECTING FLIGHTS! Sit back and enjoy the beautiful view of the ocean (I think our plane could use a little altitude!) What’s your choice of in-flight meal? Linguine con Cozze (Fresh mussels steamed to perfection and […]

Thank-you so much for making this play available. I split it up into 9 different acts and turned it into a pilgrimage. We had nine different families that particpated in the acting, and over 20 families, 100+ people, traveling through the hills at our local park. We had a guitarist playing music in between each town as we traveled to the next scene. There has now been other groups interested in doing the same thing. Your play has been a blessing to many. Thank-you so much.
Sheila, you are very welcome. Thank YOU for sharing your creative take on this script…what a wonderful idea!
