CGS is a hands on approach to teaching the Catholic faith where the children are provided a space where they can develop a personal relationship with Jesus while exploring the beauty and mystery of our Faith through specially crafted materials, Montessori methods of instruction, and a silent environment.
Classes are available once during the school week for St. Gregory's preschoolers, kindergarteners, and first graders. It is also available on Wednesday nights as part of our religious education from 6:00 - 7:30pm for pre-k through 2nd grade.
Volunteers: We're looking for assistants for each of our school day classes on Tuesday/Thursday from 8-10:15am and Wednesday/Friday from 8-9am. We also need assistants for our Wednesday night classes from 6-7:30 pm. If you are able to help please contact Megan Johansen at johansenmegansg@gmail.com.
CGS starts on September 8th for children who do not attend St. Gregory's School.
The Little Saints program is geared toward 3rd and 4th grade students. The aim is to help the children know Jesus Christ and develop a lifelong relationship with Him, through scripture and church teachings.
Volunteers Needed: The Little Saints program is in need of teachers and assistants in the classroom each year. If you enjoy working with children and would like to help please contact Megan Johansen at johansenmegansg@gmail.com for more information.Volunteers: Lots of volunteers are needed for this program.

St. Gregory’s comprehensive program is youth driven with an emphasis on creating an environment in which high school students can deepen their faith and build community. The program also strives to provide the participants with a sense of belonging within their faith community. Therefore St. Gregory’s parish not only offers a multitude of programs that focus on meeting the spiritual, service, and social needs of those in high school, but also create opportunities for them to become integrated and active parish members.
Volunteers: Volunteers are needed to assist with youth group activities held during the bi-weekly youth group night. In addition, volunteer drivers/chaperones are needed for out-of-town events such as the National Catholic Youth Conference, the Kansas City Youth Conference, and mission trips.
More about High School Youth Group
The year a student is confirmed is an important time for the student, both socially and spiritually.
In our diocese, 9th grade students are confirmed although if an older high school student missed the sacrament in a previous year, they are also welcome to enroll. Candidates for Confirmation must register with the Director of Religious Education in August.
The Confirmation Ceremony dates are chosen one and a half years in advance by the diocese and presided over the bishop. St. Gregory’s annual Confirmation preparation program begins six months prior to the Confirmation Ceremony date.
Meetings: Classes usually begin in January – which is normally nine months before the Confirmation date. The classes are generally held on Sunday evenings from 6:00 to 7:30 in the Parish Hall. Other scheduled activities such as retreats, service projects, and reconciliation services complete the program.
Parents: Parents are a crucial part of the confirmation process. More than any class the parents’ example and testimony will determine the faith of their child. Parents are challenged to step up in their faith to lead there teen closer to God.
