CATHOLIC CHURCH & SCHOOL
Early Childhood Formation
We offer several opportunities for our youngest parishioners to grow their faith. We hope to see
our families take advantage of the many quality programs that we offer and list below.
If you have any questions about the programming, please contact:
Alex McCormack Alex.McCormack@toledostpats.org.
PROGRAM: Sunday School/Catechesis of the Good Shepherd
Our Parish Sunday School Program is open to potty trained children ages 3-5. Sunday School runs during the 11:30AM Sunday Mass and you can register for the fall, winter or spring session as it fits for your schedule or you may register for all of the sessions!
This program meets the Religious Education requirement for our Kindergarten Children in our Religious Education Program. Children in our Parish School are also welcomed and encouraged to attend as it is a different presentation of the material than they receive in school.
​
Volunteers are needed for this important ministry. If you are interested in volunteering please contact Alex.McCormack@toledostpats.org to discuss the possibility! All volunteers working with youth are required to complete the Diocesan Virtus Program and complete a background check. We are happy to help you through the process.
