Catechesis of the Good Shepherd / Catequesis del Buen Pastor

Catechesis of the Good Shepherd is a method of catechesis based upon the belief that in order to best serve the religious needs and capacities of children, especially the youngest children, there needs to be a prepared environment called the atrium. The environment and the materials are instruments to serving children’s religious life. CGS uses the Maria Montessori method of learning through manipulating materials, a hands on approach. The children will be introduced to scripture and liturgy through the materials and activities presented. We will be providing CGS on Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 10 am to 12 pm. The children will meet just once a week. For the first two weeks of CGS we will meet for 45 minutes, the third week for one hour, and then the fourth week for 2 hours. This will gradually acquaint the children to the rhythm of the atrium and how one acts on Holy Ground. Your may register with the Faith Formation office. The cost is $75.
