Teaching Boys to read the Bible

Once a week, after school, several Dads run a boy's club called ConQuest.  The whole purpose of the club is to teach boys how to grow in virtue.  But we like to inject the club meetings with sports and fun, so that the boys associate "fun" with "faith formation."

This past week, the older boys' lesson was designed to teach theboys HOW and WHY to read the Bible.

We used a dictionary as an example- in order to make the point more clear.

We identified several things we use a dictionary for, and then we tried to identify several things we can use the Bible for.

Then we asked the boys how the Dictionary was arranged.  That's easy!  Everyone knows the answer: it's arranged alphabetically!

Now comes the harder question- how is te Bible arranged?  In other words- what is the key to understanding the Bible?

We are not asking, "what order is it in," or "how is it divided," but "what is the KEY to understanding the Bible?"

Royalmont Boys Retreat

This morning 27 boys in Royalmont's 6th, 7th, & 8th grades left for a two-day retreat at Sacred Heart Apostolic School. A few 4th & 5th grade siblings also jumped on board for the adventure. Fr. Gregory and Br. John have an exciting two days planned for them including some fierce sports competitions, crazy games, and, of course, Mass, confession, and virtue talks aimed at deepening their faith and helping them encounter Christ this Lent.
