Catechesis of the Good Shepherd Atrium 2 is our First Confession/First Communion preparation program. It is a two year program which has been developed for your child to encounter Christ in the Holy Scriptures and the Mass. Parents and child enrolled are expected to be present in class and at all grade-specific Family Enrichment days. These mandatory Family Enrichment days will include lunch as well as presentations for parents and students. Atrium 2 is a hands-on Montesorri based program, not a textbook based program, so making up missed sessions is not an option.
First day of classes for the 2022-23 school year is Sunday, September 11. Your child will meet in every week for Atrium 2.
We will also have Family Enrichment Days. Parents accompany their child for a community meal and lessons from 11:45 until 1:45.
