Good Shepherd Ages 3 Years–Grade 3
The Catechesis of the Good Shepherd is a Montessori-based religious formation program for children from ages 3 to 12 years. Originally developed in Rome by Sofia Cavalletti, a Hebrew scholar, and Gianna Gobbi, a descendant of Maria Montessori, the catechesis seeks to create and facilitate a sacred "hands-on" space called an atrium, in which both the children and the catechists hear, ponder, and celebrate the most essential mysteries of the Catholic faith as revealed in the Scripture and the Liturgy. The catechist does not “teach” a child about God, instead simply fosters a relationship between the child and God with quiet meditation and carefully prepared materials.
In addition to the Good Shepherd sessions, parents and children will come together with those from other faith formation programs for Community Nights.
Parents are needed for volunteering in the Good Shepherd program as a catechist, aide, or other support role.
