Youth Faith Formation

The Catechesis of the Good Shepherd is a Montessori based program, which holds to the belief that God and the child have a unique relationship with one another, particularly before the age of six, and that the growth of this relationship should be assisted by the adult, but is directed by the Spirit of God within the child. Children need their own place to foster the growth of that relationship. This place is called the atrium. Due to the unique nature of the formation offered in the atrium, we host only a small group of children in the session. This year the atrium is from:

• 9:45 am to 11:00 am on Tuesday mornings or
• 10:00 am to 11:00 am on Sunday mornings

We who serve the children, and too their families, in the parish between the ages of Grades 1st through 5th grade seek to offer a program that is a catalyst for a relationship with Jesus Christ, the Church & Christian relationships with their neighbors. Parents are the “on the ground” motivators, guides and teachers of their children. Therefore the Faith Formation program of catechists and volunteers offers our support on Sunday Mornings from 9am to 10:15am in providing an experience of Jesus through: monthly adoration, moments of prayer, lessons that teach a lived Tradition & virtues through conversations, crafts & service opportunities all in a personable environment. We hope your child(ren) will join us to grow in their friendship with Jesus, their faith and enrich their life!
