Catechesis of the Good Shepherd
and the ‘birds of the sky come and dwell in its branches.
Did you know that “birds of the air” or “birds of the sky” is a common biblical expression? It is found throughout the Psalms and the book of Genesis. (Psalm 8:8, 79:2, 104:12, and in Genesis 1:28, 30; 2:19; and 6:7) With the children in the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd atrium, we ponder what Jesus wants us to know about his Kingdom by sharing this parable with us?
Need help paying for tuition?
MN Fundraising Initiative (MNFI) secures contracts with over 23 venues in the greater Twin Cities area including Target Field, Target Center, Canterbury, and US Bank to operate food and beverage concessions stands at their events.
MNFI organizes teams of volunteers from all over the state of MN and WI who work together to run these stands. In turn, MNFI receives donations from these venues. The donations are then used to award grants to families in local communities to allow youth to attend private school, such as Sacred Heart Catholic School and participate in enrichment activities they may not otherwise be able to enjoy. Checks are mailed directly to Sacred Heart in your name.
Many of our school families use this organization to help pay for tuition.
