Catechesis of the Good Shepherd (CGS) is a Montessori-based program designed for children ages 3-9 with a meditative approach to growing one's personal relationship with God through contemplative prayer. The beauty of this program is it allows the Holy Spirit to speak to the children so they can come to know and love God.

Sunday Faith Formation is comprised of a combination of mini-series developed specifically around where kids and families are at in their faith journey.

Children ages 3 years old through 1st grade will have an opportunity to encounter God's love for them while learning more about our rich Catholic faith in fun, activity-based lessons.

Children in 2nd grade will receive sacramental preparation for First Reconciliation and those in 3rd grade will receive sacramental preparation for Confirmation and First Holy Communion as part of their weekly classroom work.

Latin for “Totally Yours,” Totus Tuus is a week-long summer catechetical program dedicated to the evangelization of the youth. Our mission is to inspire in young people:

• a true longing for holiness
• a deep desire for conversion
• a personal renewal through prayer

Totus Tuus is an archdiocesan program that brings a team of college students and seminarians to our parish for fellowship and catechesis. The Sacrament of Reconciliation and Mass are offered daily for the children in the grade school program.
