Our Religious Education for Grades Kindergarten through 7th grade meets Sunday Morning after the 9:30 AM Mass. Mrs. Helen Park is the coordinator for this program. Classes are held each Sunday from 10:30am-11:30am.
We use the Faith First 2013 through Loyola Press for Parishes in our program. We encourage adults to participate with their students at home: helping to learn our prayers, reviewing what they learned each week, and having open discussion about the lessons that the students are learning in class. Teachers have worked very hard to prepare lesson plans for the entire year, which can be found in links on the left.
The LoyolaPress website is also an excellent tool to help with this! Please visit http://www.loyolapress.com/finding-god-2013-children-and-families.htm for more information .
The program used for our kindergarten and first graders is called Catechesis of the Good Shepherd. www.cgs-usa.com. It is not an academic program, but an effort to create a space for the children to make the traditions of the Church their own, a place to experience the love of God and to learn the language of the Church.
