Calling all preschoolers! We are planning for our Catechesis fo the Good Shepherd program times, dates, and locations and would like to know what works best for our parish families. Please complete the registration form below to indicate your family's preferences. This program is for children who are 3 by September 15 through Kindergarten.
Our goal is to support parents in their role as their children's primary teachers and role models in the faith. Our religious education program offers classes for children in preschool through twelfth grade.
200 children from nine school communities come together on Wednesday nights to grow in their faith together.
“Catholic parents must learn to form their family as a “domestic church,” a church in the home as it were, where God is honored, his law is respected, prayer is a normal event, virtue is transmitted by word and example, and everyone shares the hopes, the problems and sufferings of everyone else. All this is not to advocate a return to some outdated style of living: It is to return to the roots of human development & human happiness!”
– Saint Pope John Paul II
