Bilingual Faith Formation with Enhanced Multimedia: Encontrando a Dios

Joe Paprocki Leading a Parish Program

Encontrando a Dios - Finding God Grados 1-6

I’ve shared previously about the enhanced media that is integral to the newest edition of Finding God Grades 1–6—the outstanding Loyola Press faith formation curriculum that is imbued with Ignatian spirituality. I’ve also shared about the same in Finding God Grades 7–8.

Now, I am excited to announce that enhanced multimedia is available for families with two languages: English and Spanish! The newest edition of Encontrando a Dios/Finding God Grades 1–6 invites everyone to recognize God’s presence through the use of multimedia. Each piece of multimedia included with grades 1–6 is available in both English and Spanish and is essential for bringing the conversation of faith into the homes of families who speak different levels of English or Spanish. In addition to being bilingual, Encontrando a Dios/Finding God is culturally sensitive, appropriate, and relevant to members of the Hispanic community.

The multimedia contents were created to:

  • increase the interest, curiosity, and motivation of children.
  • support parents in their role as the most influential catechists of their children.
  • assist teachers and catechists by enriching, expanding, reinforcing, and complementing the lesson.

Children and their families have access to the rich, faith-filled multimedia content through the Children’s Media Manual that is included with the Children’s Book. Request samples here, or contact your Loyola Press Educational Consultant. Preview multimedia content for grades 1–6 of Encontrando a Dios/Finding God here. Finally, explore the newest bilingual resources catalog from Loyola Press.

Encontrando a Dios/Finding God is part of the whole Finding God family—the most inclusive faith formation program available!

Back in the 1960s, communications theorist Marshall McLuhan coined the phrase, “The medium is the message,” suggesting that the primary focus of communication is not the message but the medium itself. While I have personally concluded that McLuhan’s statement is hyperbole, I acknowledge that it contains an essential truth: the medium we use to communicate affects how people receive the content. As a child, I became a Chicago Cubs fan even though I lived on the […]
