"The word of God is living and active..." Hebrews 4:12
Catechesis of the Word for Children
The Bible is a beautiful place for even the youngest children in our community to encounter Jesus in a unique and engaging way. While your family attends Mass and hears God's Word proclaimed in Scripture, children ages 4 through 1st grade will have the opportunity to hear the Gospel read and explained at their level through engaging teaching methods, and fun activities to take with them to continue learning and praying with your family at home.
Your child will begin Mass with your family, and leave prior to the first reading, led by a team of teachers to the cry room, to participate in Catechesis of the Word. After the homily, your child will return to pray along with your family for the remainder of Mass.
Catechesis of the Word will be offered approximately twice monthly, September through April, and is free to participate for all children ages 4 through 1st grade, but preregistration is preferred.
Catechesis of the Good Shepherd
Jesus said, “Let the children come to me, and do not prevent them; for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” Matthew 19:14
Young children have immense potential to know God in ways that are so often overlooked! Catechesis of the Good Shepherd (CGS) is a montessori based teaching method that recognizes that potential and provides children with a space designed for them (the Atrium) to learn, pray, and develop their relationship with Christ through the guidance of a trained catechist.
CGS is available for all Kindergarten and 1st Grade children, twice monthly on Sundays 10:15AM-11:15AM, September through April.
