CalendarWelcome to the Religious Exploration part of our web site!On this website, I will make easily available the basic information about our Religious Exploration programs. I am Roberta Altamari, your Director of Religious Exploration and Youth Ministry. I began working in Religious Education and Youth Ministry at the First Parish of Watertown, MA in 2003 and I was thrilled to step up to full-time work at First Parish of Sudbury in 2008. I have also been on the volunteer staff for the past five years for Different Drummers, a camp for middle-schoolers at Ferry Beach. My bio includes earning a Bachelor’s degree majoring in developmental psychology from Suffolk University in 1991. I have more than a decade of work experience supporting adults with disabilities and a wide variety of fun jobs like leading music and movement programs for young children. I live in Waltham with my two daughters, Dominique and Skylar Rose. When I’m not busy working or parenting, I love singing and playing my guitar, reading good books, trying a new art project, laughing with friends, or walking on a beach. How to contact me:Call me during any of my work times on my cell phone at 617-872-5145 and I’d be happy to talk to you about any concerns, questions, etc. (I am very rarely reached directly by calling First Parish, so save my cell phone number so you can access me easily.) OR email anytime at DRE fpsudbury.org and I will get back to you as soon as possible.My typical D.R.E. Hours ...My hours sometimes change based on program needs,but here is my current typical week for the 2011 to 2012 year ...

Gary will lead a book discussion group starting January 8 from 7:00-8:30 pm in the Brackett Room using Huston Smith's classic The World's Religions, an eight week tour of Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism, Judaism, Christianity, Islam and the Primal Traditions. The class is free and open to the public, but you might want to add this book to your Christmas list if you want to participate. Please note: we will be using the non-illustrated version of Smith's book. The pictures are nice, but the text is much abbreviated in the illustrated edition.
