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 Jeanette Graham, M.A.
In this segment of Catechists in Action, Marge Garbacz invites Bernie, one of her RCIA team members to read aloud the Gospel for the upcoming Sunday and then to share some thoughts on it. Watch for the following: Marge clearly announces what is to take place next, the proclamation and discussion of the Gospel for the upcoming Sunday, and then turns it over to Bernie…a nice sharing of responsibility and utilization of the gifts of […]
Lent is a time to make sure that we are in a healthy alignment with God.

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!
