Religious Education Program Information

3 years old through 6th grade

Catechesis of the Good Shepherd is held on Sunday mornings from 9:15-10:15 in a child-sized Atrium built for a hands-on learning experience of Jesus and a deeper understanding of the Mass. It is a space where the children are given time to listen, wonder, work, pray, sing, and talk about God. Our adult catechists and helpers don’t teach in the traditional sense. Instead, they journey with the children in discovering the awe and wonder of a loving relationship with the Good Shepherd Jesus.

For real!!! 🤪. Sometimes I miss that window of opportunity for falling asleep because my prayer gets so long, and then moves onto the people I saw on the news or the family of the victims on a true murder detective show, or the unknown people who are vulnerable to the evil, opportunistic people out there. Then, I get worked up and start worrying and fretting, then I can’t fall asleep. 😳🤪🙁😔😴

ABOUT ST PAUL CATHOLIC CHURCH

Our St. Paul logo was designed by fellow parishioner Lori Brechtel, a graphic designer. Lori put great thought and detail into its design. She began by seeking out a symbol of our church that would be readily identifiable to all of our members - the circular, quartered round window on our building.

The yellow, starbust portion represents the light of Christ that blinded Paul, and that light which we show to each other among our congregation, and others. it is "bursting" from the confines of our own church and radiating into the world.
