Dear Second-Fifth grade parents, If your 2nd-5th grade children enjoy scripture/scripture based activities or you are looking for your child to become more comfortable in discovering more about the Holy Bible and the Word of God, then the CGS style Bible Study would be for you! We piloted the program this past Spring and it was a huge success. We are happy to be expanding the offering to this upcoming Fall! *This program is not considered weekly CFF and not monthly Sacramental Preparation. CGS stands for Catechesis of the Good Shepherd. Catechesis of the Good Shepherd was founded by Sofia Cavaletti and Gianna Gobbi, with the knowledge of Maria Montessori. CGS is a common religious experience involving children and adults in which the religious values of childhood, primarily those values of contemplation and enjoyment of God, are predominant. This experience is shared in a place particularly prepared for the religious life of children called the Atrium. During these Bible study sessions, we will unfold the Holy Bible. The children will discover first and foremost how to care for the Holy Bible. They will discover the books of the Bible, weekly Gospel scripture; cities, waterways and maps of the land of Israel, how to find specific scripture in the Holy Bible and much , much more. These sessions are twice a month starting in September 2024 and ending in April 2025. The sessions will be from 5:30pm-7:00pm, the in Ministry level, entering and signing in through the Parish Office. Dates: Sept. 11 & 18, Oct. 9 & 16, Nov. 6 & 13 , Dec. 4 & 18, Jan. 22 & 29, Feb. 19 & 26, March 19 & 26 and April 16 & 30. **Reminder: Every Wednesday, at 7:00pm, the parish offers you the opportunity to sit in the presence of the Lord, during Adoration! What a wonderful way to end a Bible Study, with your children , as a family! Thank you again for the opportunity to continue to walk with your children on their faith journey, in wonder and of God's Word! |
