Catholic Scientist Presentation

“Science can purify religion from error and superstition; religion can purify science from idolatry and false absolutes. Each can draw the other into a wider world, a world in which both can flourish.” -St Pope John Paul II
Today our 5th - 8th grade students had a special assembly to talk with a panel of Catholic scientists. They learned that science and mathematics are all amazing examples of God's creation. They were introduced to many historic Catholic priests, religious lay people who have made significant contributions to science throughout the years.
It was a beautiful lesson blending middle school lessons on science, math and religion together.
