We at the Parish of St. Gregory the Great, look upon Catechesis as foundational to the spiritual development and formation of each child. We seek to present Christ to all people and everything in relation to Him, while helping our young people learn what is expected of one who chooses to follow Him in the Catholic Tradition.We also seek to invite the children and their families to become more actively involved in the Sacramental and Liturgical Life of the Church.
