Kindergarten Faith Formation
During the school year, we offer Catechesis of the Good Shepherd classes on Tuesday afternoons at 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. for students who are age 5 by September 1. CGS is a hands-on, Montessori-type program that teaches Bible stories, liturgical action and the beginnings of our Catholic Faith to children.
Students in Grades 1 - 6 Who HAVE NOT Received First Communion
Requirements: One year of Faith Formation (Grade 1 or older) and then a one-year First Reconciliation/First Communion Class.
Either Tuesday Weekly Classes (4 p.m. or 6 p.m.) or Family Faith Formation (a parish engagement/family-based hybrid) are available for both years of First Reconciliation/First Communion preparation.
