Program Description
|
Since parents are the primary educators of their children, St. Gertrude Church is thrilled to collaborate with parents in helping prepare children (generally in second grade) for the sacraments of Reconciliation and First Communion.
During monthly one-hour group parent/child Sacramental Formation sessions during October–April, parents and children will hear Scripture, CGS presentations, and be given the practical knowledge needed to receive the two aforementioned sacraments. These times of catechesis and prayer will become sacred memories for you and your child. 2024–2025 Registration, Session Times & Important DatesRegistration for 2024-2025 Sacramental Formation opens Tuesday, June 18, at 9 a.m.
If your child is homeschooled or attends a school that does not teach CGS, you will need to register him or her for both CGS Level 2 and Sacramental Formation. If your child is receiving CGS outside of the parish or school, please contact Mary Beth Thiemann, coordinator of Catechesis of the Good Shepherd, at [email protected] for your next steps to receive the sacraments at St. Gertrude Parish. (St. Gertrude School students receive their preparation for the sacraments through their religion classes and CGS sessions offered during the school day.)
Parent/Child Sessions: Parents and children will meet in small groups once a month November-April. Here are the sessions for 2024-2025:
