This hands-on Montessori program focuses on Sacred Scripture and Liturgy, allowing the children to hear, ponder and celebrate the mysteries of the Catholic faith and grow in their relationship with Jesus. Children learn in a room, called an Atrium, that has been specifically designed and set apart for them. Children in grade 2 will prepare for the Sacraments of Confession and Communion.
We offer CGS Level 1 for children aged 3-K, Level 2 for children in 1st and 2nd great, and Level 3 for children in 3rd grade.
Children seeking Sacramental preparation who have not been enrolled in a CGS program for grade 1 will join their peers on Sundays for Family Faith Formation, where they will be offered lessons oriented toward the reception of the Sacraments of First Reconciliation and First Communion.
In addition to our once-a-month Family Faith Formation event, children from preschool through grade three are encouraged to register for our weekly Catechesis of the Good Shepherd classes. St Peter school children will attend the class during the school day while other children can select either Tuesday or Wednesday for this formation.
