Please note that our Sunday Family Formation and Monday morning CGS classes are full. We still have available spots for our Wednesday classes.
Family Formation Model
Parents and children ages 3 years old-5th grade will meet at St Ben's to learn more about the faith through insightful teachings and discussions. We utilize the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd model as a method of religious formation for children. More details on CGS below.
Parents are required to come to the one Sunday meeting of the month, this meeting is meant to help parents assume their role as the primary educator and catechist of their children, the children will learn in their separate classrooms among their peers. The second Sunday classes are for kids, but parents are welcome to stay at visit with other families. Families will receive Sophia Institute's a Family of Faith books to take home and work on with their kids outside of the classes at St Ben's.
Catechesis of the Good Shepherd
Catechesis of the Good Shepherd Monday and Wednesday sessions is not Family Formation and will meet almost every week for just the children. Please note that we currently have a Level 1 & 2 atrium, this means we can accommodate children ages 3-3rd grade.
