Level One Atrium Catechesis of the Good Shepherd for ages 3-6 

will be available Thursdays 9:30-11:30.

The 3-6-year-old child is particularly capable of receiving and enjoying the most essential elements of our faith—the announcement of God’s love especially experienced through Jesus, the Good Shepherd, who died and is risen.  Materials on the life of Jesus Christ and his teachings help to make the mystery of God concrete for the child. The heart of the catechesis for children under six revolves around the Parable of the Good

Shepherd. Jesus announces that he is the Good Shepherd who calls each one by name. The sheep listen to the voice of the Shepherd and follow him.

First Holy Communion, Seekers (between sacraments) and Confirmation are on Sundays 10:30-11:30.
