PK, K, Young 5's Program:  Catechist of the Good Shepherd is offered to all children ages 3 - 6 years 

Elementary Program:  Grades 1,3,4,5 offers a standard parish based spiral program of Catechesis with emphasis on the Bible, Weekly Gospel message and prayer.

Elementary Home School Option:
This is the plan for families with children who are not able to come in person.  The children work at their own pace under the guidance of a parent.  This is not an online class.  Workbook and a parent guide will be provided for your reference.   A schedule with lessons along with updates and reminders will lbe sent to families.  As the children complete a chapter, there is a short online quiz, which will be submitted to me.  The cost for this class will be $30.  Please select this option at registration.

In Person Sacramental Preparation for Grade 2:  Preparation for First Reconciliation and First Holy Communion Child ONLY class this year. Due to COVID restrictions, parents will NOT be required to attend classes each week with their child.  There will be 2-3 parent meetings that will be required instead.

Home School Sacramental Preparation for Grade 2:
Classes will be live-streamed through a zoom call.  The children will remain with their classmates and complete the assignments along with the teacher's direction.  This way the children will  remain connected to their  peers, but work from home.  We will provide families a First Reconciliation and First Eucharist home guide and syllabus for your reference.  As we progress through the year, I will check-in with you periodically.  You are always welcome to contact me with any questions you may have.  The cost of this class will be $80 plus an $85 Sacramental Prep Fee.
                                  
EDGE is our Middle School Program offered to students in 6-7-8 grade.
There will be an in-person and virtual option for families in EDGE and Confirmation.
CONFIRMATION is embedded within our EDGE program and is open to students in grades 8-12.

Virtual EDGE/Confirmation classes will be offered.  Youth will join through zoom to a live session during Sunday evenings for the proclaim.  They will meet with a leader for small group via zoom.  Confirmation students will receive periodic updates via flocknote to keep on task with assigments. 

Our High School program, LifeTeen, is offered to students in 9-10-11-12 grade.
