Divine Duos

God created us to live in harmony with the world around us exploring and growing along the way until we discover all He has created us to be. This program will work with children where they are and inspire quiet growth by thinking about “me and my place in the world.”

•    What can I do, what is still hard for me…how can I grow?

•    Can I try new foods? Can I follow directions? Can I use my hands to create new things?
•    Can I think about the way God made the world and try to understand it?

•    Can I get to know others and learn to appreciate what they like and what they can do?

•    Can I listen and share even when it’s hard?

Join us as we read, listen, sing, think, & work with our hands so we can begin to discover all we can be. 
This program is for children 3 ½ - 6 years. (There will not be a class on February 24th)

The Wonder of Me

Journey to the Word 
Wednesdays, 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM, January 5 - March 16

We all want our children to grow into literate, thinking adults, but reading the Bible doesn’t happen in a day.  It takes time and practice to develop the literacy skills necessary to become a proficient reader. This program will focus on helping children build a strong foundation of phonological awareness skills to support their growing phonemic awareness and early literacy skills using fun and engaging activities.
Children will need an easy-to-open binder for filing their work. This is an important step in the process of learning alphabet skills.
This program is for children beginning kindergarten in Fall 2022. No siblings please.
FORMAT: In-person programming location to be determined. Group size will be extremely limited. Masks are strongly recommended for adults.

The Catechesis of the Good Shepherd program is a beautiful, hands-on way of leading young children to learn about our faith, the Bible, the Mass and our loving God. This fall, our parish will open a Level 1 Atrium for children ages 3 - 6 years.  This weekly 1 1/2 hour program will give your child the gift of faith as well as a loving relationship with our heavenly Father.  There is a small fee for this program.
FORMAT: In-person programming in our parish atrium. Group size will be extremely limited. Masks are required for adults visiting the program.
