“’Let the children come to me; do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God. Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it.’ And he took them in his arms and blessed them, laying his hands on them.”
Mark 10:13-16
Children’s Faith Formation
Children's Liturgy of the Word |
At the Sunday 10 a.m. Mass throughout the year, children from preschool through second grade gather and are sent forth from the Mass to joyfully learn about the Sunday readings and participate in activities that teach about our faith. Afterward, the children return to Mass in time to rejoin their families before the Eucharistic prayer. No sign up is required and parents are welcome!
For more information, please contact the parish center.
CATECHESIS OF THE GOOD SHEPHERD |
Using presentations and hands-on work, Catechesis of the Good Shepherd invites children to fall deeply in love with God. Level I is for ages 3-5 years.
For more information, please contact the parish center.

Preparing For the Sacraments |
Sacred Heart of Jesus follows the Archdiocese of Denver restored order of the sacraments. This two-year program prepares second graders for First Reconciliation (confession) and third graders for Confirmation and First Holy Communion.
In 2021, children will make their first confession during an April 12 service devoted to that purpose. Children will be Confirmed and receive their First Holy Communion during a special Mass April 22.
For more information about preparing your child to receive the sacraments, please contact the parish center.
