"Religious education of young children should focus on helping the child to enjoy the relationship with God with deep awareness and great wonder."

The Good Shepherd and the Child: A Joyful Journey

In order to promote our parents as first teachers, Nativity offers faith formation for all students age 4 through high school, but the opportunities vary for each age group.

Pre-K and Kindergarten

These students receive their faith formation through Catechesis of the Good Shepherd. Please visit our Catechesis of the Good Shepherd page for more information and for registration.

Elementary and Middle School: Grades 1-8

Students in elementary and middle school are invited to join us for religous education classes on Sunday mornings throughout the school year, September thru May. All classes meet in the Nativity School classrooms from 9:30 - 10:45 a.m.

Students baptized and unbaptized are welcome to join us as we explore the beliefs, teachings and celebrations of the Catholic Church. Our catechists will guide our students each week in prayer and interactive learning through a variety of resources. Parents are welcome to volunteer throughout the year, with the completion of Safe & Sacred training.

Please use the links here (and on the left) to access registration, our calendar and more information on Circle of Grace and  Family Life.
