What is it?Catechesis of the Good Shepherd came about through the work of two Roman Catholic laywomen in Rome: Sofia Cavaletti and Gianna Gobbi. They were inspired by the education principles of Maria Montessori, also a Catholic. The materials they prepared for children, since 1954, were based on the Bible, the Roman Catholic liturgy and sacraments, Tradition, and church teachings. Located in our parish classroom, the Atrium is a specially prepared, quiet place where the child may live out the desire "to come closer to God by myself." Don't miss this opportunity - for children 3-6 yrs, meeting Wednesday mornings from 9:30-11am, October through May.

Tuesday evenings from 6:30 - 8:00pm. If you or someone you know is interested in inquiring about the Catholic Faith, please contact Gina at the parish, 509-926-7133 or [email protected].
Every 1st and 3rd Sunday fo the month, during the 10:30a.m. mass we offer Children's Liturgy of The Word. Children hear the Gospel proclaimed in their own Liturgy of The Word based on that Sunday's readings and Prayers of The Faithful. Children gather before the Liturgy of the Word begins in mass, receive a blessing and proceed into the chapel adjacent to the Sanctuary with an instructor and return before the Liturgy of The Eucharist.
