WHILE AT HOME, TEACH AND ENCOURAGE YOUR CHILDREN TO PRAY!
Prayer is the foundation that will help children respond, lead them to holiness and guide their missions.
“If we want to assist the child in his or her religious experience, an important area which we must attend is that of prayer. Prayer is, first of all, listening to God. It is the particular key which opens up the mystery of God’s relationship with God’s creature; it is a key which belongs to God, but which God gives to all… Prayer is initiation to the mystery of God and is, itself, a mystery… our task is that of creating the conditions for silence and reverence which will help the child focus on and listen to God. We do this, first of all, by preparing an environment with a prayerful atmosphere.”

TESTIMONIALS
“Thank you for providing such a beautiful place for (the girls) to spend time with God every Saturday. It is the highlight of their week.”
“God can do more than we can ask or imagine by the power at work within us. Eph 3:30. This scripture captures the Holy Spirit at work in Dominic. CGS has helped draw out what is happening in Dominic in his faith journey through a Montessori approach. It is unbelievable! I never could have imagined this little dude could capture his faith like this or in so many other ways. His imagination is being filled with rich incredible encounters of Jesus and of the Church. Thanks Ruth Ann McClure and the CGS team! Totally recommend this program to any parents across Canada!!!”
“Fiona has such insight for her age. When you were reflecting on the parable, she was spot on and felt very supported in the environment to voice her ideas in front of her peers.”
“I can say I have never seen the Holy Spirit move more dramatically with and through children than with those who participate in this catechesis.”
“How wonderful it is to witness the utmost reverence for the Holy in a child so young.”

CGS Summer 2020 ~ Planting a ‘Mother Mary’s Butterfly Garden’Summary During July and August, the CGS children and their guides gathered outdoors for faith formation on Wednesday mornings from 9 – 11 am in the parish backyard. Ours goals were to listen to God together, reflect, pray and work. As stewards of creation, we worked to beautify Mary’s Garden and to care for the whole yard. The children learned gardening skills such as cultivating, weeding, planting, shaping, pruning and shoveling. The after picture shows Mary’s garden is running over with flora. A plant in the planter is in bloom and the stone path has been unearthed to the gazebo. What a holy place God has given us. |
