We are looking forward to an incredible year of growth in understanding of the Catholic Faith and our personal relationship with Jesus as we plan the 2022-2023 Catechetical Year. The goal, in keeping with our theme, “Jesus, let us come to know You,” is that every child and adult involved in our program will come to KNOW Jesus, not just know about Him.
Some highlights of our program for grades 1 to 6 are:

¨ Gatherings will meet after school on a weekly basis from October to May

¨ The New St. Joseph Baltimore Catechism will be the primary catechetical source
¨ Parent/Adult catechesis will be offered during children’s class time for those who wish to participate
Life in the Church
¨ Monthly Children’s Eucharistic Adoration
¨ Decade of the Rosary led by children at each gathering
¨ Advent and Lenten Children’s Penance services
¨ Altar Server Training and education in the Virtues

Contact Theresa McAvinney PCL at 873-4577 or tmcavinney@vermontcatholic.org for questions and registration. Please include us in your prayers, that all our children will come to know, love and serve God in this world, so to live with Him in the next.
In the love of Christ Jesus, through Mary and with St. Joseph,
Your Catechetical Team
