When it comes to religious education, what if every child could have time and space specially set aside for an encounter with Christ?
We wholeheartedly know that this is possible, and we’re intentional with offering this experience to our parish children through Catechesis of the Good Shepherd (CGS). CGS is a different way of offering religious education. With its retreat-like atmosphere in the Atrium, children have a unique space with special materials to fully enter into the depth of faith. They’re offered the opportunity to contemplate on Scripture, encounter the Holy Spirit in their hearts, and prayerfully meditate in His Presence.
We are overjoyed to be receiving such a high volume of interest from many families, yet due to space and staffing, we only have limited capacity for so many students. Because of these limitations, we’re inviting you to apply to our program for this upcoming school year (2022-2023).
We are so encouraged to know that faith and a relationship with Jesus is important to you and your family as you seek out the best religious experience for your child.
To pick up an application please come and visit the parish office.
***CGS for Pre-Schoolers, age 3+ is in the works –
please contact the office for more information***

Abba’s Heart: Finding Our Way Back to the Father’s Delight
Discover and Embrace the Extravagant, Unconditional Love of the Father
How is it that so many believers get stuck when it comes to entering into a relationship with God the Father? Rather than basking in the Father’s endless love, compassion, and delight, we seem to hesitate, like orphaned children unsure of a place to call home.
Neal Lozano breaks through the obstacles that keep us from growing in this pivotal relationship. He shatters fear and estrangement in his joyful exploration of Jesus’s promise to show us his Father–and ours. It is a heartwarming journey, starting with the universal experience of loss and ending in the Father’s welcoming arms as dearly loved children.
