Our vision
Holy Spirit Parish’s Faith Formation team strives to share with and support our parish families as they answer the call to teach children the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the richness of the Catholic tradition. With the guidance of the Holy Spirit, together we can:
- Deepen the awareness of God’s presence in all our lives
- Enhance our place in God’s design as beloved and irreplaceable children of God
- Foster an atmosphere of love and respect for others
- Mentor young people to live as intentional disciples of Jesus Christ and responsible participation in the life, mission, and work of the Church
- Nurture personal and spiritual growth of each young person through prayer, Mass attendance, and the Sacrament

IMPORTANT UPDATE REGARDING CGS

After the 2024-2025 Faith Formation year, Catechesis of the Good Shepherd (CGS) will transition to become its own independent ministry, separate from our Wednesday Faith Formation program. CGS is a beautiful and unique model of faith formation that is slower-paced, deeply contemplative, and rooted in the Montessori method — and we recognize that it doesn’t fully fit the structure and flow of our larger Wednesday evening gatherings. This change will allow CGS to flourish in a way that best honors its special approach and the needs of the children it serves. Stay tuned for more details regarding upcoming CGS sessions.
We’ll continue offering a Kindergarten curriculum on Wednesday nights this fall! Our littlest disciples will still have their own engaging, age-appropriate faith formation as part of our midweek program.
