Development in Christian faith and practice is a lifelong process. We are always moving toward becoming the person God calls us to be. Formation is therefore for all ages; it takes place chiefly through education, study, worship, and prayer but is also found through our mutual support of one another.
- Children from about age 3 up to third grade take part in a very hands-on curriculum known as Catechesis of the Good Shepherd.
