Teachers and staff from Lima Catholic Schools participated in some professional development Monday morning at St. Gerard's.
Peter Range from the Diocese of Toledo paid a visit to Lima to hold a conversation on the topic of human dignity with the schools' staff members. Range spoke about how teachers can assist and support students who may be questioning things in their lives, such as their identities or their sexuality, and helping students to be the best people that they can be.
"It's not just for teachers, but for our entire Church; Jesus loved us so much that He came and gave us His entire life for us, and so we as teachers and as ministers of that message, that Gospel, we want to give love to every individual we encounter, no matter what their background is," said Range, who is the director of the Catholic Charities Office for Life and Justice.
The day was part of an in-service day for teachers at the four schools.
