2025-2026 Children's Faith Formation (3-9 Years Old)
Please fill out one form per child.
CGS Levels
CGS Level 1
A three-year program for children ages 3-6. All three years are focused on introducing children to the central theme of Christ's love for them as the Good Shepherd, stirring within them a sense of wonder and awe before his presence, all as they learn about the Mass, the infancy narratives of Christ, and his parables about the Kingdom of God.
CGS Level 2
A three year program for children ages 7-9. In the first year, children grow in friendship with Jesus the Good Shepherd and begin learning about moral choices and God’s covenant love. In the second year, children prepare for First Reconciliation and First Communion by exploring Jesus' moral parables, the Sacrifice of the Mass, the Eucharist, and God’s mercy both in their lives and throughout salvation history. In the third year, after receiving the sacraments, children reflect more deeply on their meaning and learn to live out the graces they've received in daily life.
