Children's Catechesis 

Dear St. Theresa Parents, 
I look forward to this year of partnership with your family as together we nurture the faith development of your children.  What we have received from the Lord, we pass on to the next generation. By virtue of our Baptism, we each have a role to play by being witnesses to the Gospel and by handing on the faith. 

PK4- 5th Grade Catechesis: We will not have gathered sessions on campus with the children. You will be working with your children in your home.  We will begin the year with a virtual opening prayer service on Sept 27. On the schedule each month, October through April, are 3 textbook lessons plus one liturgical prayer service.  See 2020-2021 Calendar.  We offer the prayer services to nurture your child’s relationship with God.  Knowing about God (textbook lesson) is an activity of the head. Knowing God (prayer services) is an activity of the heart.  The year will end with a May Crowning on May 2.  

The 1st - 5th grade curriculum will be the same as the last few years, Alive in Christ from Our Sunday Visitor.  It is a spiral curriculum, so the same units are covered across the grades. For example, Unit 1 is Revelation for 1st thru 5th grades. The same topic is appropriately presented according to each developmental age level.  

PK4 & Kinder curriculum is also the same as last year, Allelu! from Our Sunday Visitor. 

Please reach out to me with any questions or concerns you may have.
