“Let the children come to me, and do not prevent them; for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”

- Matthew 19:14

We are blessed to have a special program at St. Mary and St. Francis Xavier for the youngest among us. Catechesis of the Good Shepherd (CGS) is designed to nurture the 3-5 year old’s love of God as well as teach them the basics of the faith. This method is a departure from traditional classroom style catechesis. It allows the children the space and time to explore who God is in their own time and rhythm.

Our CGS meetings at St. Mary on Sundays 9:45-11:15a (3 and 4 year olds) and Tuesdays 10:30a-12p (3, 4, and 5 year olds).
