New Godly Play resources available to check-out

As you make plans for the start-up of fall formation programs, please know that our diocesan Resource Room has added significantly to the number of Godly Play resources we have available to check out.  Although originally designed for young children, Godly Play is currently being used with people of all ages and works especially well with older adults.  Trainer’s manuals are available in both English and Spanish.
