Elementary Religious Education
Our religious education program for families with elementary age children in PreK–6th grade includes sacramental preparation: First Reconciliation, Confirmation, and First Eucharist.
Our family faith approach involves parents and guardians, equipping them with tools and skills to deepen their relationships with the Lord and build their domestic church.
A parent group meets simultaneously with children’s age-level classes, and parents and children come together monthly for Family Faith Nights.
Sessions meet Tuesdays from 6-7:30PM or Wednesdays from 4:30-6PM. They begin the third week of September and run through the middle of May. Registration for the formation year begins in the summer.

Online Catechesis of the Good Shepherd Registration
Register NowCatechesis of the Good Shepherd (CGS) is a Montessori-based faith formation program for young children that provides space for them to meet Jesus, the Good Shepherd, learn to listen to the Holy Spirit, and grow in their understanding of God through the use of handmade materials and Scripture. In the atrium, the Holy Spirit is the teacher, and the catechist is there to assist the children in hearing what He wants to teach them. At All Saints, religious faith formation begins around age 4 with CGS catechesis of the Good Shepherd in our Atrium. This atmosphere will help your children prepare their hearts to recieve sacramental preparation at the proper time. Parents are encouraged to assist with the All Saints CGS program and attend the parent group that meets at the same time as their child's atrium session.
This registration form needs to be completed for all children attending the CGS 2025-2026 RE year.
