The first catechists in any child’s life are the family members with whom he or she lives. What happens at home – provides lessons for life. In the family, faith is shared as part of the unfolding of daily life. The home or “domestic church” provides a real place in which a child learns to live his or her faith as well as understanding it. The Church programs are meant to enhance their formation.
Our goal is to create a program of life long faith formation. It embraces all ages and generations, promotes faith growth at home and promotes participation in the life of the Church and forms a Church community for your child.
Children’s Faith Formation and Catechesis of the Good Shepherd
Children in 3yrs-5th grade are invited to be registered, and those of that age in our parish are expected to be registered. These classes are designed to help your family's growth in the faith, especially your children, knowing that life as parents can be very busy and hectic we work with all schedules! If you have questions, please call or email!
