CHILDREN'S CHAPEL
A worship service for children aged 4 – 7 years is available at the 10:30 service on Sundays.  One of our priests and our youth minister (or a volunteer if needed) escort the children to the chapel (or parish hall) this child-friendly service. All return before the Eucharistic Prayer to be with their families. Please contact Fr. Christian for more information.

CHRISTIAN EDUCATION at 9:30 am on Sundays

Pre K and Kindergarten

Catechesis of the Good Shepherd.  The Catechesis of the Good Shepherd curriculum will continue to serve this age group in the upstairs atrium room. Currently there are no children enrolled. 

1st - 5th Grade

Our elementary aged students (K-5) currently gather together in the classroom downstairs. There is a four-year rotating program which includes taking children throughout the church for hands on interaction. The focus on foundational Biblical texts, the Saints and sacraments provides children a well-rounded introduction to the Christian faith during their development. .
