Welcome Families Of Most Blessed Sacrament And The Area!

Youth Faith Formation is the umbrella name that The Catechesis of the Good Shepherd, Religious Education, ADORE, Confirmation, and OCIC fall underneath. Our Youth Faith Formation programs are designed to deepen the relationship between Jesus and the youth of our parish and area. Each of the programs offer engaging and welcoming activities, meaningful content, prayer, and a supportive environment that are carefully crafted to foster spiritual growth and community connection.

Location: The Donnelly Neighborhood Center

The Donnelly Neighborhood Center is located right next to Close Park along Bellevue Road, and just north of our church. The Center is home to our School, Gym, Kitchen, Kelly Room, and Ryan Adamson’s Office. Children/Teens will enter through the main doors off of Bellevue Road, get signed in, and follow the instructions of the ADORE volunteers. An exact Google Maps pin for the building is provided below.

Help Pass On The Faith To The Next Generation

Volunteers play a vital role in passing on our Catholic faith and traditions to our young people. There are several important roles that we are always in need of filling. We invite you to prayerfully consider serving in one of these roles, paying forward the faith that was generously shared with us when we were children and teenagers. To learn more or to share your interest, please contact Ryan Adamson.

A Safe Environment

Our parish is committed to providing safe, well-structured environments for children and youth. To do this well, we follow diocesan requirements and parish procedures that help ensure all adults serving in these ministries are properly trained, screened, and supported. The Youth Faith Formation VIRTUS Guide outlines what is initially required to volunteer to work with minors, why these steps matter, and how to complete them. It is intended to be a clear, practical reference for both new and returning volunteers.

Catechesis of the Good Shepherd
