Good Shepherd offers two ongoing programs for children grades K - 12:  Family Faith Formation is for families with children in grades K- grade 6 who do not attend Catholic Schools and is the program for those children to receive religious education and to prepare them for the celebration of Sacraments. Learn more about the program and how to register your family by clicking the button below. Children's Liturgy of the Word is a worship experience that is an extension of the Mass for preschool to 3 grade children. 

Next Summer Good Shepherd  will offer the program Totus Tuus for children in grades 1-6  and Junior and Senior High School   Be sure to come back and check for information.

 As Family

In 2020-2021 we will  gather safely in a smaller capacity of 50 or less people in the Cafeteria. Each table will host your family- only in which you will experience prayer, special topic to learn, fun activities or special skit and closing inspiration. We will work and grow in faith together as a family and work towards community building in creative and new ways.

Curriculum

Due to Dioscesan and State directives, RE will look different this year. We will host only 1 hour session, We will be sitting around tables with family only until social distancing measures are lifted. And face masks will be required; there will be quality catechesis and exciting sessions to look forward to!

WEATHER

Your family will receive a text message and email at least 2 hours before the session starts notifying you that the Religious Education session is cancelled due to inclement weather.Also, in our Good Shepherd Web page under Religious Education. We DO NOT follow district school closing policy.
