We are called to be true disciples of Jesus Christ who know, love, and serve God more and more each day. The mission of our Children's Ministry is to encourage, equip, and accompany parents (the first and most important teachers) in forming their children to be lifelong disciples who love God, love others, and go and make disciples. To help you in passing on the faith to your children, we offer weekly faith formation classes (see calendar below). All faith formation (religious education) sessions start with a 15-minute gathering for parents and children, and then children are dismissed to their grade level class. We highly encourage children to participate every year.

Grade Level Classes

Catechesis of the Good Shepherd Level I: Ages 3-5
Catechesis of the Good Shepherd Level 2: Ages 6-9
Young Disciples: 1st Grade-3rd Grade
Kids in Christ: 4th & 5th Grade

Mass

It is important for children to participate in Mass regularly with their family. Sit toward the front where it is easier for them to see and hear. Encourage younger children to look and see what is going on. You can quietly explain the parts of Mass to older children. Let them know that they are at home in God’s house! Every Sunday is a Holy Day of Obligation. What is your family tradition? Make it a fun day of family, faith, and food! Click here to view Mass times.
