Parish Schools of Religion
Parish Schools of Religion (PSR) includes all faith formation for 12th grade and younger; Catechesis of the Good Shepherd, Religious Education (K-5th Grade) and Young Church (6th-12th Grade Youth Ministry). We are a ministry that partners with parents to help grow their children in our Catholic faith.
​
Catechesis of the Good Shepherd
Ages 3-9
Catechesis of the Good Shepherd is a particular approach to the Catholic faith formation of children ages 3-6 (Level 1) and 6-9 (Level 2). It was begun in 1954 in Rome, through the collaboration of Hebrew scholar Sofia Cavalletti and Montessorian Gianna Gobbi. CGS serves children worldwide based on Montessori methodology and using Scripture, liturgy, and biblical geography and history.

Sacrament Preparation
Grade 4-8
Reconciliation & Eucharist
Did your child miss preparing for their Sacraments during second grade? Then this class is for you! This year, St. Therese will be offering special sacrament preparation classes for older students in grades 4-8 to receive the Sacraments of Reconciliation and Eucharist. These students will learn about the importance and beauty of these Sacraments and will be well prepared to receive their First Reconciliation in December and their First Eucharist in the spring. They will learn to abide in Jesus as the True Vine. Families will also be involved in the preparation process at home.
​
​
TUESDAY Evenings: 3rd floor Youth Room in the school from 6 - 7:15pm
5 classes for Reconciliation
5 classes PLUS a Wednesday retreat for Eucharist lessons in the spring
Depending on Sacraments received, students may attend one or both
