Catechesis of the Good

​​Shepherd

Level 3 (Ages 9–12)

CGS Level 3 (Ages 9–12)

As children grow, their capacity for knowledge and abstraction increase. CGS Level 3 is intended to particularly address the 9- to 12-year-old child's interest in the mystery of time and history. In this program, time spent in the atrium is centered on deepening a child's understanding of his or her place within the context of God's plan of salvation through the study of sacred Scripture and the liturgy. 

St. Gertrude Church is excited to offer a pilot session for Catechesis of the Good Shepherd Level 3 for the 2022-2023 academic year!

2022-2023 Pilot Session

​The pilot session will be offered bi-weekly on Wednesdays from 3:30 to 5:15 p.m.* in Atrium II. This is a limited opportunity due to available resources of catechists, materials, time, and space. The cost of the pilot session is $80. Mary Beth Dickert and Lisa Farwick will be the co-leaders. Topics include, but are not limited to:
  • Structure and parts of the Mass
  • Sacraments
  • Genesis Bible study (Creation)
  • Salvation history as the "plan of God"
  • Prayer
​
