About Us
Preschool - First Grade Formation
Catechesis of the Good Shepherd (CGS) is Saint Cecilia’s Montessori-based Faith Formation program for preschool children (age 3) up through First Grade. Children and catechists meet during the 9:30am Mass. The Catechesis of the Good Shepherd program operates on a belief that the very young child has been in a relationship with God since birth. Therefore, the work of the catechist is to simply support that relationship as it grows.

Liturgy of the Word for Children
Liturgy of the Word is offered during the second and fourth Sundays of the month from October to May. Students are dismissed just prior to the Liturgy of the Word and return for communion. We read the same scriptures as the adults but from a children’s lectionary. The children express their thoughts and ideas with the simple promptings, “What did you hear God telling us today?”
All children attending Mass are welcome to join us.
