Spiritual Formation

Programs for Children Ages 0 to 5th Grade


Nursery for infants & toddlers (birth-3 years):

Our fabulous nursery workers provide care & nurture to our youngest parishioners from 8:15 a.m. until noon. While there is no formal curriculum for this group, we have purchased new books and toys, including stories about Noah's Ark and the story of creation, to help these children begin to know the stories of our faith.


Catechesis of the Good Shepherd (Ages 3 to 5)

This is an exciting new program that was implemented at Emmanuel in the Fall of 2007. Read more about this program.
