Our Catechetical Programs
Our primary catechesis for children begins in Kindergarten. For our children, we use the Image of God series and Faith and Life series, published by Ignatius Press. Our catechests are all volunteers and include university students as well as parishioners of all ages. Junior catechist positions are also available.
In addition, we offer have a primary-level Catechesis of the Good Shepherd Atrium: a Montessori-based program where children begin their religious education at age 3 or 4, and stay with the program for 3 years.
Blessed with children younger than "program" age? Watch for news about summer camps and check out resources for families! -
