Early Childhood Faith Formation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We use the structured program Loyola\u2019s Christ our Life<\/em> for our Preschool and Kindergarten faith formation.  Students will be engaged in song, activities, prayer time and active learning in age appropriate ways. Through learning of the goodness of God, and the love of Jesus, the children respond to God in friendship and prayer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The preschool program uses the\u00a0God Made Everything<\/em>\u00a0series, a comprehensive early childhood program designed to nurture and enrich the faith and spiritual lives of preschoolers. Each developmentally appropriate curriculum is carefully planned so that, at completion, the children are ready to continue their faith journey into the next level and beyond.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The\u00a0God Made Everything<\/em>\u00a0series has been found to be in conformity with the\u00a0Catechism of the Catholic Church<\/em>\u00a0by the Ad Hoc Committee to Oversee the Use of the Catechism. For more information\u00a0click here.<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

God Made Everything<\/em> preschool classes are hosted in the school on Sunday mornings from 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM.<\/p>\n

The kindergarten program uses the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd <\/em>program. This program is open to all 4, 5 & 6-year-old children of the parish.\u00a0Each child is an important person to you as parents and to God. Parenting is a ministry, a service to life.\u00a0You, as a parent, have the dignity of being the \u201coriginal and irreplaceable\u201d person in your child\u2019s religious journey. More information regarding this program can be found on the CGS website:\u00a0Catechesis of the Good Shepherd<\/a><\/p>\n
