In the fall of 2022, St. John gratefully received a $25,000 grant to invest in building St. Nick’s Workshop, a one-of-a-kind, interactive Catholic children’s museum here on St. John’s campus. We’ve hired professionals at Our Sunday Visitor to help guide the development of this project aimed at bringing families closer to the Lord through fun, hands-on activities. St. Nick’s Workshop will not only help inspire children to engage with their faith but will strengthen and encourage parents in their roles as their children’s primary catechists. Our team aims to have a prototype of this museum ready to open by December 6, 2024.
We’ll keep you updated as we make progress towards establishing what might be the first Catholic children’s museum in the United States!
