Christian
Formation
| It is our belief that children as well as adults
need to have opportunities to practice their faith. The Religious
Education programs are in place to supplement what is already happening
in the home. It is without question that our expectations would be that
parents/guardians would provide children with the opportunity of weekly
participation in the Mass and other parish activities. While in the
care of Religion Teachers or Catechists the children, in addition, will
have several opportunities throughout the year; to participate in
prayer in the classroom, Mass, Communion Services, Prayer Services,
Sacramental celebrations of Reconciliation, outreach to others by
service in the school parish or beyond (nursing homes, soup kitchens,
etc.) |
Religious Education Curriculum
Within the past few years Religious Education
texts and curriculum have been reviewed by the school teachers and
after-school catechists. Up-to-date texts have been chosen and found
very helpful in the overall program of formation. Both are in
conformity with the Catechism of the Catholic Church, and approved by
the Archdiocese of Detroit.

 Christ
the Good Shepherd C.Y.O. Sports Programs
Sports programs are open to all children of the parish - both from the
school and the Religious Education Program. However, children must meet
strict requirements determined by the diocese and further interpreted
by local boosters, athletic director, School and Religious Education
administrators and coaches. Ask for policy guidelines from coaches or
the respective offices.
Altar Servers
|
All children in the parish
(grades 5 and older) may sign up for altar serving. This is a wonderful
way of teaching children love for the Mass as well as develop a sense
of responsibility.
