Parent Orientation--Revisted!

Here is a link to the Parent Orientation that I posted last year.

It has some helpful insights into CGS. I hope to get on and post more about what we are doing these days, but with building 3 new atria in one summer, PLUS the New Roman Missal changes to our existing material--it is a bit overwhelming!!

I will share one story: I was presenting the "Individual Gifts Strip" to 3 Level III children (4th graders) and we were thinking about which of the gifts we have received was the greatest. Two of them very nicely said that their family was the greatest gift. A third was thoughtfully looking over the material and then said: The Mass! I was MUCH older than 4th grade when I figured that out!


"I give praise to you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, for although you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, you have revealed them to the childlike. Yes, Father, such has been your gracious will." Matthew 11:25-26

Keep an eye out for new posts in the coming months! I'll find the time somewhere!

God Bless,

Mandie DeVries, Director or Religious Education and Level 3 Catechist
