Welcome to our growing parish! Our mission is to support families in the faith formation of their children. Our program is inclusive and open to children of all educational backgrounds and ability levels.

Catechesis of the Good Shepherd

Assumption is unique in offering all three levels of Catechesis of the Good Shepherd. This approach to the religious formation of children is rooted in the Bible, the liturgy of the Church, and Montessori principles.

CGS gives children a joyful study of God’s love for us, His plan for salvation, and the rich life of the Church. The atrium is a prepared environment where a child’s work becomes prayer; it is their response to the Good News.

Current classes include:

Ages 3–6: Level One atrium
Ages 6–9: Level Two atrium
Ages 9–12: Level Three atrium Confirmation class
Ages 14+ (high school): Apologetics book group

We are always looking for catechists and assistants, so please reach out if you are interested in becoming part of this great work!

Sacramental Preparation

Children prepare for the sacraments through our religious education program. However, children may also receive the sacraments at Assumption if they choose to prepare at a Catholic school or Catholic homeschool curriculum.

All candidates must contact the Director of Religious Education to be placed on our list.

Safe Environment

Assumption follows all diocesan practices for Safe Environment, including volunteers who have been trained and background checked. Circle of Grace lessons are provided to every family who is interested in this virtue-based safety program.
