Catechesis of the Good Shepherd

In 2023, St. Barbara School adopted an additional faith program called “Catechesis of the Good Shepherd.” Led by Sr. Catherine, all of our students in grades TK-5 spend 1 class a week in our new Atrium learning about our Catholic faith with hands-on experiences, activities, and prayer. God and the child have a unique relationship with one another, particularly before the age of six. The growth of this relationship is assisted by an adult but is directed by the Spirit of God within the child.
