Teaching Modules

cmic

For a Catholic Missions In Canada Awareness Week

We are pleased to present Teaching Modules for both Elementary and Secondary Schools that teach our children about Catholic missionaries working throughout Canada. These are our unsung heroes and heroines of the faith, who give up the comforts of home and family to travel to remote and isolated areas of our country, where climate and geography can make life harsh. The joy of spreading the Good News of our Lord, Jesus Christ, however, uplifts the faithful hearts of our missionaries!
