"Our parish groups and ministries offer a way for you and your family to connect to the parish, to serve others, and to grow in Spirit. I pray that you will join us as we worship, serve and grow in our love of Jesus Christ and each other."

Scroll Down for Details on the Program
Catechesis of the Good Shepherd (CGS) is a “hands on approach” program using the Montessori Method of education. This method addresses the whole child: body, mind, and spirit. Classes meet in the Atrium, a room that has been specially prepared for the students. Your child will learn about the Kingdom of God, the Sacraments, the life of Jesus, Salvation History, Parousia, and other important details of our Catholic faith. The prayer life is supported through Scripture, Liturgy, songs, and moments of silence.
