Spreading the Good News One of the goals for our Children’s

Faith Formation Program is to grow our Catechesis of the Good Shepherd Program to 3 Levels of catechesis.

This program is a unique and Gospel driven approach of formation for the young. At this time, we are able to offer the first 2 Levels in our grouping. In order to offer the Level 3 portion of CGS, we are in need of trained catechists for Level I. Our mission in the next few months is to invite adults (18 years +) to be trained in CGS Level I so that our ministry is able to flourish and reach more youth. The training involves a commitment of 92 hours (1 ½ weeks) of instruction. Please pray about this ministry and decide if you are being called to complete this training and become a

CGS catechist. Contact Debi Gross at 724-352-3030/ [email protected]

We will not hide these truths from our children; we will tell the next generation about the glorious deeds of the Lord, about his

power and his mighty wonders. Psalm 78:4

Psalms: The School of Prayer

This study will continue every Wednesday at 7:00pm in St.

Joseph Hall Café, now through March 18th. Participants meet

every week to view an engaging video presentation followed by

a time of group discussion and fellowship. For more information
