WELCOME TO TOOLS FOR SCHOOLS!

This section of the Living with Christ website will have all kinds of ways in which teachers can make use of many of the elements from the missalette in the classroom.

While it is very important to have Living with Christ as part of your prayer corner, it is more important that it be an integral part of children's daily prayer.

We hope that you will come back often to be supported by the new suggestions that we will draw from original writings as well as Novalis publications.
