Even if you're waiting for other schedules, we can adjust your class when it comes time. Please don't wait!! We need to assign kids to the program so we know the number of materials we will need.
- One Volunteer Still Needed
Thank you to the volunteers who have so generously given of their time and talent to serve the youth of our parish. We appreciate you very much!
We do however have need of 1 grade 7 teacher on Mondays from 7-8 pm. If we cannot fill this position, we will not be able to offer this second class on Monday evenings.
Teachers and aides receive free tuition for their children. Your prayerful consideration to volunteer in this capacity will be greatly appreciated.
- Faith Formation Classes will begin with a parent orientation and Safe Environment lesson for the children on September 28th, 29th, and 30th. First class is the following week, October 5th, 6th, and 7th.
- Teachers and aides are asked to attend a start-up meeting on September 22nd and 23rd – detailed times and locations will be emailed to the all volunteers soon.

Catechesis of the Good Shepherd Level 1
Click here to register
We are excited to offer a pilot year of the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd (CGS) Level 1 for children ages 3-5 this 2025-2026 Faith Formation year. CGS is a hands-on, Montessori-based approach to faith formation that nurtures a child’s relationship with God through Scripture, liturgy, and quiet contemplation. Rooted in the belief that children are naturally capable of deep spiritual insight, this method invites them to encounter God's love at their own pace in a peaceful, thoughtfully prepared environment.
Sessions will take place Monday evenings at St. Matthew Church during regularly scheduled faith formation times (4:30 – 5:30 PM, 5:45-6:45 PM).
We will also be offering CGS-based presentations as a Children’s Liturgy option at selected 10am Masses at St. Bernard Church this year.
Please reach out to Phoebe if you have questions.
