The Center is designed
for all age groups. The Children's Gallery offers a fun and exciting
way for younger visitors to spend time at the Center. Mimicking many
of the activities that the older members of the family will see in other
galleries, the Children's Gallery seeks to show the young visitors how
faith can change one's perspective. The physical perspective of the
gallery shifts the scale so that children can feel bigger in relation
to their surroundings than they do in everyday life. The walls and ceiling
resemble the sky and beneath their feet a curved portion of the globe.
The bigger than
life feeling helps to spark the imaginative creativity of those who
visit the Gallery. The activities include:
-Calligraphy Rubbings
-Ring the Bells!
-Cathedral Under Construction
-Stained Glass Workshop
