Enroll your children in St Peter's Youth Enrichment Program (YEP!) this summer. Parishioner Catherine Thomson will lead YEP participants on mini tours of the Art Institute of Chicago.Linked under the theme "I Love to Tell the Story", each tour will engage participants in close looking and discussion to reveal stories central to our faith and religious practices depicted in several works from the Art Institute's vast collection. These are not art history lectures; these are inter-active activities designed to expand awareness of the many ways core religious themes have been communicated over centuries and across cultures. Enrollment and admission are FREE for all children and the first three adults who agree to act as chaperones. To sign up or for more details, email Catherine or call (773) 827-4703.
