Renaissance Artists role in the church

Please take a look at the last two links which have some of the famous art work that spoke to the Christians of the Renaissance about their faith. Many of the Christians could not read and the pictures were their way of learning their faith. There is also a link that shows the churches of this same period. Please look through some of these churches and realize that these were built without modern machinery.

Our Modern Church

Students, Take time to explore the sites from The Vatican and our own Buffalo Diocese. You can learn lots about our church today. Let me know what you find interesting

Lists of Saints

Take some time to find your patron Saint and find out something about him or her. If your name is not exactly like any of the Saints listed see if your name is similar to one of the Saints names. We will be looking at the Saints later in the year and talking about our patron Saints.

Welcome

This blog will be put together by my 8th grade students. We plan to search for web sites which will help us learn more about our Faith then add them to our page. Please stay with us and watch us grow during the 2009-2010 school year.
