WELCOME TO THE LEVEL ll ATRIUM

In the Level ll atrium, the child's spiritual journey continues.  The image of the Good Shepherd is integrated with the image of Jesus as the True Vine (John 15: 1, 4-5, 9), including the words " I am the Vine, you are the branches."   This is a time to deepen and continue to build the child's relationship with God, through the child's own joyful responses to God's gifts of love and God's many gifts of Creation.

Eduvigues M. Alfaro

        I have been an active member of St. Peter Church since 2003.   I am a wife and mother of three children. I have a diploma in Business Administration and I am currently enrolled in Clackamas Community College, learning American SIgn Language.
     I began my Catechetical journey in 2016, answering my call to Know, Love and Serve the Lord.   In 2019, I received the Foundational Certificate, answering the call to Lay Ministry from the Archdiocese of Portland.   I am a certified Level 1 guide for the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd and am currently in the process of completing the Level ll training (to be completed January, 2022).
     I have discovered the joy of the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd.   This approach gives us a method of evangelization for the child with beautiful materials and a hands on approach that is based on Sacred Scripture and the Liturgy.   I am blessed to share in the work of nurturing the child's deep faith through this gift from the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd. Thank you for the opportunity to work and learn with your child.

I was baptized Catholic and continue to serve the Lord as a Catholic and a Catechist for the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd.    I am a certified Level l Catechist and am continuing my Level ll formation (to be completed in January, 2022).   One of my joys of working with children is to watch them experience the wonders of our Lord's grace and love for them.   I look forward to working with your child in the years to come.   Blessings to you all!
