As you know from earlier posts in this blog, we are implementing a new Sunday School program at St.
Joan of Arc this fall called the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd (CGS).
CGS is an authentic Catholic faith formation program developed in Rome
by a Catholic Biblical Scholar. It
emphasizes hands-on, child-directed learning and Montessori methods to help
each child develop a deeply personal relationship with Jesus. Children use a
variety of specially handmade materials to help them grow in their
understanding of God. Here at St. Joan
of Arc, we will be offering the program to 3-6 year old children during the
9:30 a.m. Mass on Sundays beginning September 13.
Would you like to get
involved with this exciting endeavor? We
are looking for:
1) 2-3 adults to serve
as catechists and help out the head catechist (no experience needed). Can’t
commit every week? We are looking for
substitute catechists too.
2) 2-3 junior high or
high school students to help out during the sessions.
3) People who have a
talent in woodworking, sewing, painting, model making, calligraphy or other
crafts to help us create the handmade materials that the children use in the
program.

out more? Please contact Cheryl

Thank you for your
generous consideration of this opportunity!
