Catechesis of the Good Shepherd

WHAT IS THE CATECHESIS OF THE GOOD SHEPHERD (CGS)?

CGS is a Montessori-based Catholic faith formation program where children can grow in their relationship with God through a deep engagement in Scripture and Liturgy.

GOD AND THE CHILD

CGS is based on the belief that God and the child are already in a relationship. Our work as adults is to provide a place for the child and God to come together and grow.

THE ATRIUM AND MATERIALS

The atrium is a specially prepared room where children can come to know Jesus, the Good Shepherd. The atrium is prepared with materials that children work with as a way of meditating upon the essentials of our faith found in Scripture and Liturgy.

Perhaps the whole secret of life consists in receiving that which is offered to us as a gift and responding according to the precise nature of the gift received. Once again we are brought back to that supreme moment in history when Jesus says: “Take…”; “Do this in memory of me”
