What is Catechesis of the Good Shepherd?
from the United States Association of the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd
The Catechesis of the Good Shepherd is an approach to the religious formation of children. 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 for them, which contains simple yet beautiful materials they use to help them absorb the most essential proclamations of the Christian faith.
The Catechesis of the Good Shepherd is a sensorially rich experience for children from the ages of 3 to 12 years (at All Saints, it's for ages 3-6) that gives children the opportunity to grow in love and knowledge of God through the Christian tradition.
