Family Connections

Parents are the first and most important teachers of the faith for their children. Allelu! engages the whole family in faith and equips parents to share the faith with their children in everyday family interactions, reinforcing and building upon what children have learned in the parish or school.

We are happy to present our curriculum, Allelu!

Allelu! is an early childhood program with innovations that make it easy to engage every child and build his/her faith! Created by expert catechists and a child psychologist, Allelu! delivers a unique, multisensory experience.

Within this framework, the goals of Allelu! are to:

·       Teach young children about our Catholic faith.

·       Familiarize children with the Catholic sacraments, liturgical rituals, symbols, and seasons.

·       Help form children’s moral lives, standards and values.

·       Teach children how to pray.

·       Give children the words and tools they need to talk about God.

Allelu! is Christ-Centered

It nurtures young children’s natural tendency to seek a relationship with God, reinforcing a strong sense of community and love.

Allelu! is Child-Focused

It is based on four core beliefs about children’s unique faith journeys that put young children at the center of the program:

Young children naturally seek a relationship with God.

Young children live in a community that includes their immediate and extended families, neighborhood, school, and parish.

Young children think and learn differently than older children and adults.

Young children need freedom and independence within structure.

Allelu! Emphasizes Parent/Family Involvement

It is anchored with Child/Family Activity Sheets that are simply and easily connected to real life. Activity Sheets provide engaging and understandable prayers, activities, and saint stories, as well as brief, teachable insights for the entire family. Cleverly designed like placemats for the dinner table, Allelu! Activity Sheets meet busy parents and families at the perfect moment, reinforcing positive family rituals such as eating meals together and talking to each other.
