Children/Youth
The mission of Our Lady of Good Counsel’s Religious Education CCF Program is to proclaim Christ’s message, guide students in applying His teachings to their daily lives, and foster a community rooted in prayer, worship, and a deep desire to serve the Lord.
The mission of catechesis is to lead people to God, who is love. “The whole concern of doctrine and its teaching must be directed to the love that never ends. Whether something is proposed for belief, for hope, or for action, the love of our Lord must always be made accessible, so that anyone can see that all the works of perfect Christian virtue spring from love and have no other objective than to arrive at love.” (CCC Prologue)
OLGC offers in-person classes on Sundays as well as a homeschool option for grades K-8 + HS Sacramental Prep/OCIT.
K-5 meets Sundays 3:15-4:30 pm and 6-8 + HS Sacramental Prep/OCIT 6:30-7:45 pm in the school.
Families who wish to homeschool must register for religious education - homeschool option. They will be provided with a link to My Catholic Faith Delivered, which is an approved program by the Diocese. Students who are preparing for Sacraments must attend retreats and meet the sacramental requirements of the program.
Time spent praying as a family and attending Holy Mass on Sundays and Holy Days of Obligation are living examples of the importance of placing our Blessed Lord at the center of family life. By living a grace-filled life, nourished by prayer, strengthened by the Sacraments, and transformed by the Word of God, your children are empowered to grow in their Faith, and deepen their relationship with God. We are here to help parents fulfill the promise made at Baptism to educate their children in the practice of their faith. Our mission is to ignite in your child a spark that will lead them to fall in love with Christ and be Missionary Disciples for His Church.
