Program Option Descriptions:

PREP is design to give preschool children (ages 3 to 5 years) an introduction to basic Catholic Christian principles. Classes meet on Sunday Morning from 9:30 to 10:45 am during the regular school year, beginning in September and continuing through April. Class days and times options found in the Children Session of this Online Registration.

Catechesis of the Good Shepherd is an approach to the religious formation of children 3 to 12 years of age, inspired by the Montessori principles of education. The catechists meet with the children in a prepared environment called the "Atrium". The catechist presents materials with close links to biblical and liturgical sources, and the child is free to choose. Class days and times options found in the Children Session of this Online Registration. The Atrium is divided into three levels of formation as follows:

Level I - This level is for children 3 to 6 years of age (Pre-K to K).

The Religious Education Program (Traditional) is for students in Grades 1-8 and meets in the classrooms of the Frawley Building. In this program students in Grades 1-5 are introduced to the traditions and rituals of our Catholic Faith through the sharing of the Scriptures, group prayer, crafts, songs and other creative activities. Students in Grades 6-8 delve deeper into six specific areas of our faith in order to discover what it means to live as a "Catholic" in today's world. Grades 1-5 have the option of meeting on Sunday Mornings from 9:15 to 10:45 am or Wednesday Afternoons from 4 to 5:15 pm. Grades 6-8 meet on Wednesdays from 7:15 to 8:30 pm.
