  Enlighten with thy holy Wisdom those who teach and those who learn, that, rejoicing in the knowledge of thy Truth, they may worship thee and serve thee from generation to generation; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
  
  The Sunday School program at the Cathedral of Our Lady of Walsingham offers students an opportunity to gain a better understanding of their Catholic faith and traditions. The goal of each class is to go beyond mere content knowledge. Rather, inspired by Our Lady, we seek to ponder these mysteries in our hearts and so come to a deeper and richer encounter with our Lord and his Church.

  Our Children's Faith Formation Sunday School program offers two sessions

  from which to choose.
   

  Session I - 8:15-9:15 pm

  or

  Session II - 9:45-10:45 am
  
   These times have been designed so that our families have alternatives to
  attend a morning Mass at the Cathedral. 

  
  

  Please note that each Catechesis of the Good Shepherd classroom must be capped at
  15 or 20 students dependent upon the level.  Once the class has reached maximum capacity, you will have to choose the other session.

  The cost of the program for the year is as follows:
  
   $85 for one child
  $120 for two children, and
  $175 for three or more children.
  
   Scholarships are available. Please contact us for more information.
