Take your family on a journey through the wisdom of Saint John Paul II, toward authenticity and a life steeped in truth, joy and happiness. The Diocese of Palm Beach presents: Stories from Rooted, by Ruah Woods Press. We invite you to take a fresh look at God’s love that leads to deep awareness of human dignity, identity, and purpose.
We will present award-winning children’s stories read by a special guest, for you and your children to enjoy together. Look for the companion lesson to help you view the story through the lens of our Catholic faith. Ruah Woods Press has designed family lessons to assist you in instilling values in your family about God’s creation, who we are, and our purpose. They include discussion questions, suggestions for fun activities and an opportunity for family prayer. Each one of us is unique and unrepeatable, what a glorious lesson for you and your family.
