Catechesis of the Good Shepherd

Registration for CGS closes November 14.

The Catechesis of the Good Shepherd is an approach to the religious formation of children in PreK through Grade 1. It is rooted in the Bible, the liturgy of the church, and the educational principles of Maria Montessori. Children gather in an "atrium," a room prepared specifically for them, which contains simple yet beautiful materials that they use. Children have a natural affinity with God. They need us to merely name that relationship and give them the tools to further know and love God as they grow.

Our program is for children ages 4 – 8. We have made exceptions for children who are age 3, and these children have thrived in the Atrium provided the family participates in Mass on a regular basis and the child is somewhat familiar with prayer at home. If you think your 3-year-old is a good fit for this program, please call Jill for more information.
