We are interested in setting up an atrium room for a Catechesis of the Good Shepherd (CGS) youth program. Plans are to use a room at Ss. Peter and Paul Church in Ivanhoe and hopefully start our first sessions in the fall. The Catechesis of the Good Shepherd is a Montessori-based religious formation program for children, beginning with age 3-6. It is rooted in the Bible, the liturgy of the church and the educational principles of Maria Montessori. We have begun collecting materials but have a long way to go, so we are looking for interested parishioners to help procure everything we need. A list of materials that we still need is posted on the AFC website. For more information contact Coordinator, Kathy Rybinski, rybin@itctel.com. Classes will start around late October, early November.
We are ready to start our Catechesis of the Good Shepherd Program. Children Ages 3-6 are eligible to attend. More information and a tour of the atrium will be available after the 8:15 am mass at Ivanhoe on Nov. 16. Please meet in the Ivanhoe Church library. Here is the link for the registration form
