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. Level 1 CGS has 3 levels of presentations  (for the 3, 4 and 5 year old child).

Classes for parishioners will begin September 27

from 12:15-1:30pm each Sunday.

(School families will have class on a different day.

Please register with the School.)

Tuition: $40 per child or $60 per family*
