PreK – Grade 6 Faith Formation
Ages 3 – grade 2: The Catechesis of the Good Shepherd is an approach to the religious formation of children rooted in the Bible, the Liturgy of the Church, and the educational principles of Maria Montessori. Children gather in an “atrium”, a room prepared for them, which contains simple yet beautiful materials that they use to ponder the mysteries of our faith. Click here to learn more.
Grades 4 & 5: Sophia Institute Curriculum with a focus on art and culture.
Grade 6: A scripture study of Salvation History
Children will join us regularly on Wednesday evenings.
Parents will join their children on-site periodically for Catholic parenting enrichment, catechesis, liturgical experiences, and parent-child activities. We will offer Parent Enrichment Nights (PEN) once a month with speakers and topics of interest to parents of children of all ages.
Your family does! At Epiphany, we want to form a partnership with parents as we all strive to live out our Catholic faith. The church will offer community and tools needed for families to grow in faith together. Families will gather once a month for Parent Enrichment Nights at Epiphany and children will attend weekly classes.
Parents and children will come together to at Epiphany one Wednesday evening a month and children will attend classes weekly.
Children in second grade will be preparing for the sacraments of First Reconciliation and First Eucharist. The formation given during the second grade Family Faith sessions will focus on preparing for these sacraments. In addition to the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd classes, there will be several other meetings, practices, and celebrations throughout the year. Obtain more information on First Sacraments.
Wonderful! To help with the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd Atrium for children age 3 – grade 2 contact Mary Minor, mminor@epiphanymn.org. To be a Catechist in grades 3-6, contact Dana Butler, dbutler@epiphanymn.org.
Every adult is welcome to hear the dynamic speakers and to grow in community on Family Faith nights. While topics will be tailored toward those with children, others may want to come to glean ideas of how to share the faith with grandchildren or Godchildren. Come join us!
