Children's Catechesis

When we had our children baptized, we brought them into a sacramental life that can be best explored and experienced within the Mass, the home and the classroom. Children's Catechesis classes are designed to support the domestic church and meet the religious needs and spiritual formation of our children from 3 years old through 8th grade who attend public, home and St. Mark school. We are delighted that you have chosen to join us in the classroom as we support you and your child(ren) in growing their relationship with Christ. All are welcome!

Catechesis of the Good Shepherd

The Catechesis of the Good Shepherd is a religious formation program that is rooted in Sacred Scripture and Tradition and offers children a hands-on approach to learning more about their faith and inviting them into deeper relationship with God. Gathering in the Atrium, a room specially prepared for them, the children receive presentations rooted in the Bible and the Liturgy on a variety of topics such as liturgical colors, the parables, biblical geography, articles of the altar, prayers and gestures of the Mass, and much more. Each presentation includes simple yet beautiful materials the child is invited to work with during the extended work time that is available to them during each class.
