The CGS Program uses a Montessori approach to religious education which incorporates Scripture and manipulatives to teach about the Catholic faith. Each child works at his/her own pace. Class size is limited to 12 children. Preference is given to registered parishioners on a first come, first served basis. Please note that this is a multi-year program where material covered in following years builds on material presented in previous years. For all children, liturgy is an integral part of the Atrium, therefore ages 6-12 will be dismissed in time to attend 10:00 Mass. The 3 to 6 year olds will be brought to mass for the Liturgy of the Eucharist about 10:30. Children must be age 3 by 9/30 and potty trained before entering the program.
