Cathedrals: Teacher Guide + Resources
Explore the Beauty of the Church with Your Children
Catholic churches are more than buildings—they’re living catechisms, filled with beauty, meaning, and tradition. With this open-and-go, full-color unit study, your family can step inside the world of Church architecture and discover how sacred spaces lead us closer to God.
The Cathedrals & The Craft of the Church Unit Study is designed for Catholic families who want to explore the richness of our faith through art, history, and hands-on learning. Whether you're homeschooling or simply looking to deepen your family's appreciation for the Church, this resource brings Church architecture to life in an approachable and engaging way.
Inside this spiral-bound, 52-page physical edition, you’ll find:
-
9 core lessons plus a bonus lesson - everything you'll need to read and QR codes for the websites/virtual tours you can access
-
Full-color pages with rich visuals and additional resources
-
An open-and-go format—no prep or extra research needed
-
Content designed for multiple ages, ideal for family-style learning
-
20–40 minute lessons that work with your schedule—no matter how full
-
A digital download of student worksheet pages for easy reprinting
Each lesson invites your children to explore a key part of Church architecture. From soaring steeples to stained glass windows, they’ll learn how every element serves a purpose. Children will discover the “why” behind what they see each Sunday—and how every detail points us back to God.
What Makes This Study Unique
This is more than just a unit study. It’s a tool for cultivating reverence and wonder.
You'll find a thoughtful blend of teaching and discovery. Reflection prompts, QR codes for virtual tours, and real-life cathedral examples help connect faith and imagination. Families can explore the parts of a church, learn about different architectural styles, and uncover the meaning behind sacred symbols and designs.
We know Catholic parents are often stretched thin. That’s why this unit study was created with ease in mind. You don’t need a theology degree or an art history background to teach your kids about Church architecture. Everything you need is in one place.
A Family-Friendly Approach to Sacred Spaces
Whether your child is tracing arches or coloring rose windows, every activity is rooted in beauty and intentionality. Word searches, copywork, mazes, and scavenger hunts reinforce vocabulary and build curiosity. The included lessons also offer optional deeper dives for older children or curious learners.
This unit is ideal for:
-
Catholic homeschool families looking for faith-filled curriculum
-
Parents who want to make church visits more meaningful
-
Grandparents or godparents seeking to share the beauty of the faith
-
Catholic schools or co-ops teaching about art, history, or religion
Cathedrals becomes a doorway to conversation, prayer, and awe. Your family will begin to notice and name what they once passed by: the baptismal font, the cruciform floor plan, the soaring vaults that lift hearts toward heaven.
Why Teach About Cathedrals and Architecture?
Because our churches are built to teach us. They proclaim truth in stone, glass, and sacred geometry. Children long to understand the world around them—including the space where they worship. When we invite them into that understanding, we invite them into deeper love for the Church.
And when a child begins to see a cathedral not just as a big old building, but as God’s house? That’s when wonder takes root.
