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.
My session on Monday evening focused on the Temple of Solomon and the question of where it is that we find the presence of God. After reading from our Finding God book about Solomon’s Temple and the placement of the Ark of the Covenant in the Holy of Holies, representing the presence of God in the midst of Israel, we read John 2: 13-22 in which Jesus cleanses the Temple and then claims, “destroy this […]
As the year winds down, we’re taking a session to talk about St. Paul and his conversion and missionary journeys. Our guide is Finding God, Grade 7, Chapter 23, but as usual, I’m using that as a jumping off point rather than following the book’s lesson plan word for word. We are all called to conversion and mission in our ongoing faith journeys, and that’s the point of this lesson (the “big idea” as Joe […]
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!
