We have provided families with Virtues in Practice program, created by the Dominican Sisters in Nashville, TN, as a teaching tool for the whole family to work at home to grow in virtue. Each month has a virtue to focus on and age-appropriate lessons for discussion.
Our focus for the 2021-2022 year is Year II: Year of Hope. We hope this program bring spiritual growth and fruit to your homes and families!
We are glad to expand our CGS program to offer three sessions in both Level 1 and Level 2 this year. CGS is a Montessori-based approach to faith formation that focuses on the essentials of the Catholic faith and developing a relationship with Christ as the Good Shepherd (level 1) and True Vine (level 2) with the Catechist and Holy Spirit to guide them.
