We had little hope of reaching our children in their later high school or college years: families were being torn apart; parents could suddenly be transferred by the state, or taken into concentration camps, or lose their jobs or be severely persecuted for sending their children to religion classes. We faced the reality of short-term instruction. We had the sense of urgency that it was now that our students had to understand, be motivated to practice and live their faith! There is a sense of urgency today, too: we want to reach our students now and help them to be committed and convinced followers of Jesus Christ today!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #93000b;\">Devotion to the Sacred Heart transforms our teaching, since we focus our attention on the divine love. If you love someone, you love those who belong to him and you want everyone to know the person whom you love. This is what led me to teaching religion. My first call and first desire was that more and more people would know Our Lord on a deeply personal level, with an interior knowledge.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #93000b;\">The origin of the Method was the realization that God is personally involved in my life, He knows me by my name, He loves me as a person, I am unique and special to Him. This is the vision and conviction that I wanted to convey to others, children and adults alike. The Spirit of God was generous with practical inspiration\u2026I was able to develop the Five-Steps that carry through every catechetical lesson and truly capture the whole person. &#8212;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"color: #93000b;\">Servant of God Sister Ida Peterfy, SDSH Foundress<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"clearboth\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><h3 style=\"color: #93000b;text-align: center;font-family:Abril Fatface;font-weight:400;font-style:normal\" class=\"vc_custom_heading\" >Five Step Illustrated Method<\/h3><div class=\"vc_empty_space\"   style=\"height: 32px\"><span class=\"vc_empty_space_inner\"><\/span><\/div>\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Each\u00a0\u00a0<span style=\"color: #800000;\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Step<\/span><\/strong> <\/span>of the catechetical method <span style=\"color: #800000;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Relates <\/strong><\/span><\/span>to God-given gifts of each human<span style=\"color: #800000;\"> <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Person<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left; padding-left: 390px;\">1.

The goal is to reinforce and revitalize their convictions and enable them to put these into concrete practices in daily life. The Five Steps are a way to convey what one believes while allowing room for the personal talents, inventiveness and ingenuity of the catechists;\u00a0 and allow for dialogue with students for a dynamic exchange.\u00a0 At the heart of each lesson there is an invitation to a deeper relationship with God. Because our faith is not in things but in God who loves each of us personally; the goal of religious education is to help them understand what they are doing in faith and why.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"vc_empty_space\"   style=\"height: 40px\"><span class=\"vc_empty_space_inner\"><\/span><\/div>\n\t<div  class=\"wpb_single_image wpb_content_element vc_align_center\">\n\t\t\n\t\t<figure class=\"wpb_wrapper vc_figure\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"vc_single_image-wrapper   vc_box_border_grey\"><img width=\"640\" height=\"368\" data-src=\"https:\/\/sacredheartsisters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Joyful-Fall-2010-2_001-1024x589.jpg\" class=\"vc_single_image-img attachment-large lazyload\" alt=\"Society Devoted to the Sacred Heart\" loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Sister Ida teaching\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/sacredheartsisters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Joyful-Fall-2010-2_001-1024x589.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sacredheartsisters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Joyful-Fall-2010-2_001-300x173.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sacredheartsisters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Joyful-Fall-2010-2_001-768x442.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sacredheartsisters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Joyful-Fall-2010-2_001.jpg 1523w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 640px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 640\/368;\" \/><noscript><img width=\"640\" height=\"368\" src=\"https:\/\/sacredheartsisters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Joyful-Fall-2010-2_001-1024x589.jpg\" class=\"vc_single_image-img attachment-large\" alt=\"Society Devoted to the Sacred Heart\" loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Sister Ida teaching\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sacredheartsisters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Joyful-Fall-2010-2_001-1024x589.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sacredheartsisters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Joyful-Fall-2010-2_001-300x173.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sacredheartsisters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Joyful-Fall-2010-2_001-768x442.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sacredheartsisters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Joyful-Fall-2010-2_001.jpg 1523w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/noscript><\/div>\n\t\t<\/figure>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Sister Ida teaching\u00a0a catechist formation class, 1957\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Unique and Effective Catechetical Lessons with theFive Step Illustrated Method LITURGY TRAINING PUBLICATIONS LITURGY TRAINING PUBLICATIONS AVAILABLE IN HUNGARIAN AVAILABLE IN CHINESE The Method evolved from our historical background, [from [...]","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5318,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2024-05-03 21:44:27","action":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sacredheartsisters.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5011"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sacredheartsisters.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sacredheartsisters.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sacredheartsisters.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sacredheartsisters.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5011"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sacredheartsisters.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5011\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sacredheartsisters.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5318"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sacredheartsisters.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5011"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
