The Religious Education program at Good Shepherd seeks to help students in grades K-8 grow in their faith journey.  Our programs focus not only on learning the truths of the Bible, but also learning how to enhance our relationships with God and each other.  Our programs also help students prepare for their sacraments.

Students in our program will be grouped by age/grade level and will meet approximately 3 times a month.  Students seeking to receive a Sacrament will also be asked to attend a weekend retreat with their family. 

Due to Covid, parents have been required to attend classes with their child/children.  With restrictions changing, we anticipate this will not be the case in the fall.  However, we will continue to monitor the situation and will be asking parents to pick 1 month (per child) to act as a teacher aide in their children’s classroom.  More information on this will be provided in the fall.

Programs Offered:
Wednesday Evenings 6-7pm – Classes taught in English, ALL are welcome
Sunday Mornings 11am-Noon – Classes are Bilingual, ALL are welcome

Sacramental Preparation – Any student seeking to receive a sacrament must participate in the Religious Education classes for a minimum of 2 years prior to receiving the sacrament.  They must also attend the appropriate retreat.

First Reconciliation & First Communion- typically completed in 2^nd grade, however, accommodations can be made for any age.

Confirmation – typically completed in 8^th grade, however, accommodations can be made for any age.

We are so excited to share the Catholic Faith with you and your family.  As always, if you have any questions or concerns, we are here to help!
