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.

The whole purpose of life is to be united with God as one. The CGS environment allows children to grow in their personal relationship with God where heart speaks to Heart. There is nothing more beautiful or desired by God than when we invite and allow the Holy Spirit to speak directly to us. Let's encourage our kids to get to know Him so they never leave Him as they continue to grow in their Catholic faith. "If we want to help the child grow near to God, we should, with patience and courage...seek to go always closer to the vital nucleus of things. This requires study and prayer. The child himself will be our teacher if we know how to observe him." ~Sofia Cavalletti, CGS Developer

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.

Our fully initiated children in 4th and 5th grades are invited to participate in a different approach to their continued spiritual growth through "The Chosen" Bible Study.

We are also hosting family events on the first Sunday of each month called This Is Where Legends Are Made. These fun monthly events are open to your friends and family, so feel free to spread the word and bring the whole crew!
