CATECHESIS OF THE GOOD SHEPHERD

For Children Aged 3-6

WHAT IS CATECHESIS OF THE GOOD SHEPHERD (CGS)?

Catechesis of the Good Shepherd is a highly acclaimed approach to the religious formation of children, rooted in the Bible, the liturgy of the Church, and the educational principles of Maria Montessori. Children gather in an “Atrium,” a room specially prepared for them, which contains handmade materials that they use to ponder the story of Christ and the life of the Church.
