2024 Children's Formation begins Sunday, September 15th

Welcome to Children’s Formation at All Saints Episcopal Church. We look forward to a meaningful year with your family.

Our parish uses a method called Catechesis of the Good Shepherd in a special room called an 'atrium'. Catechesis of the Good Shepherd is a faith formation experience for children ages 3-12 years old. It is based on the belief that young children can and do experience God. An atrium is an environment created to nurture children’s spirituality. This approach to the religious formation of children is rooted in the Holy Bible, the liturgy of the church, and the educational principles of Maria Montessori. Hands-on materials are used to help children and adults reflect together on the great mysteries of the Christian faith. For more information about Catechesis of the Good Shepherd, please visit their website.

You may register up to three children from the same family on the registration form. *Please use a laptop or PC to complete information rather than an iPad or an iPhone. Handheld devices have trouble transmitting registration information.

Level I Atrium orientation will be held for three year olds and any four & five year olds who are new to All Saints. Level I orientation sessions are for new Level I children and their parents. Children must be 3 years old and potty-trained by September 1, 2024 to begin atrium. Please select an orientation session at the bottom of the registration form. If none of these orientation sessions work for your family, please use the contact information to schedule one.
