Good Shepherd Catechism

We just want to let all parents know that the Good Shepherd Catechism will resume classes on Monday, 16th October 2017 (Table View), Tuesday, 17th October (Melkbos) and Saturday classes on 21st October (Table View). There will be NO CLASSES on Monday, 9th October 2017.

During the weekend of the 16th September 2017 our Faith Level 3 children attended their First Reconciliation Retreat in Melkbos. They were prepared for their First Confession that took place on Saturday, 23rd September at the Table View Parish. On the morning of the Retreat Fr Kevin welcomed the children and the parents to the Retreat. They received talks - putting on the Armour of God. What is Sin and how to find this in the Bible. We went through the Rite of Reconciliation. The struggles in preparing for Confession. We discussed the Maxim. Each child had an opportunity to read a Maxim and to discuss it. Before the parents were about to return the children were given the opportunity to recite one decade of the Rosary. When the parents returned to the hall and they all received a presentation of the True Vine and what the meaning is. We as Catechists were their to help the children on their journey and for them not be scared to go to Confession. On Saturday, 23rd September it was amazing to see all the smiles and know that the white garment they put on after confession is clean and white. We ask that you keep praying for our children and the parents as they are now preparing for their First Holy Communion that takes place next year.

Please note that Catechism on Saturday's will resume this coming Saturday, 5th November. Class is from 9:00am - 10:00am. Parents please collect your children promptly at 10:00am.
