Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God's grace in its various forms.
1 Peter 4:10
Faith at St. Charles
Catechesis of the Good Shepherd (CGS)
Students in grades 3K and 4K receive bi-monthly instruction in the Montessori-based curriculum, Catechesis of the Good Shepherd. This hands-on instruction is led by our Director of Children’s Discipleship and enriches daily religion instruction led by classroom teachers.
Service Projects
In following with Jesus' calls to serve others, students at St. Charles participate in several service projects throughout the school year. From creating Christmas ornaments for those who have lost their homes in natural disasters to donating items for birthday gifts for children in need to bringing in food and cleaning supplies for our St. Vincent de Paul Society, students have a chance to give back to those who are less fortunate and can see how their contributions make a difference. Through these acts of service, scholars are reminded of the gifts they have been given and how they can use those gifts to help others.
Weekly Mass
Our students attend Mass weekly, and each 1st-8th grade homeroom is in charge of leading Masses throughout the year. Our Youth Choir and Schola Cantorum (middle-school choir) sing at school Masses, as well.
Generally, scholars in 3K-4th grade attend Mass on Tuesdays, and students in 5th-8th Grade attend Mass on Thursdays. We also have all-school Masses on holy days. Mass is at 8:30 a.m. Parents and families are welcome to join us at school Masses!
