Today, Fr. Andrew helped the Kindergarteners make connections between what they are learning about during the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd and what they witness during live Mass. The group went into the sacristies to see the vestments worn by priests (it was amazing how many of the students knew what the colors represented), the chalice, the ciborium, and the paten.
Attendance Matters at Weekend Mass Too! 🙏✨
Your children cherish the time they spend with you, and that includes moments of prayer. As we continue our journey through this school year, we encourage our families to make a joyful commitment to attend weekend Mass together. Let's grow in faith and love as a community—because our children learn best by seeing the example of prayer in our homes and hearts. 💒❤️

From small-group discussions with the central office staff to visits in classrooms, the students, staff and families are being formed in their call to be missionary disciples. Central to the Christian life is the call of Jesus to “go, therefore, and make disciples” — Matthew 28:19.
