Catechesis of the Good Shepherd3- 5 year-olds
We are excited to offer our youngest children something new! Catechesis of the Good Shepherd is a hands-on approach to Faith Formation that allows children to discover God and His love for us. Sessions will be offered on Monday afternoons from 4:30-5:30 pm.
Catechesis of the Good Shepherd is a child-centered, child-directed, soundly traditional method of introducing children to the Mystery of God. The children will work with materials doing things like setting up the Altar for Mass, retell Bible stories using hands-on figurines and dioramas, dressing a priest with vestments, spending time in prayer, and so much more. To register, please use the registration instructions below.

Grade 1-6 Faith Formation
-
Sundays 9-9:50 am
Wednesdays 4:30-5:30 pm
or Wednesdays 6:00 – 7:00 pm.
Classes for first through sixth grade use a Liturgical Based Program called Gospel Weeklies that give us a chance to teach using the upcoming Readings and Gospel and Parents a chance to teach by talking about these same Readings and Gospels after Mass each week.
All sessions for grades 1-6 will meet for Whole Family Catechesis about once a month. Families are expected to attend all of these sessions as well as their regular classes. These are actually the most important classes as they build community as well as give a great example to our children of their parents' relationship with Christ.
A different choice for all families in grades 1-8, is an online homeschooling program called Your Catholic Faith Delivered. If you are interested in sharing our Catholic Faith at home as a family, simply choose the Homeschooling option when selecting a class. Because we are One Body in Christ, we want to be sure that we build our church community, so please remember that we strongly encourage you to join us for the monthly Whole Family class, either on Sunday morning or one of the Wednesday options.
