Ministry Spotlight:
Catechesis of the Good Shepherd
We are a Montessori-based catechesis for children from ages 3-12. CGS was born from the joy of the children in their encounter with God. It is an experience of life, an education in faith, and a celebration of the encounter with the Father — in listening to Jesus, the one Teacher, and in obedience to the Holy Spirit.
Children who come to the Good Shepherd find a prepared environment called the "Atrium" that responds to their vital religious needs and helps them listen and meditate upon our faith presentations that follow the Church year. Our Atrium is located in Room 103. We have six catechists and 30 children currently enrolled, and we are open to all children up to 8th grade. Classes are offered September – May on weekday afternoons (3:30 – 5:00 PM) in three different age groups. Click to learn more about the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd!

IVC volunteers serve 1 or 2 days per week and gather monthly for prayer in the Ignatian Tradition. During the pandemic, many virtual service opportunities are available.
