The Catechesis of the Good shepherd is a Montessori-based approach to the religious formation where the deep bond between God and the child is nurtured. Children age 3-12 come to a specially prepared environment called the atrium to work with hands on materials that help them explore and reflect on scripture, prayer and liturgical events. Children, together with their catechist, reflect on the great mysteries of the Christian faith. 
 

Catechesis of the Good Shepherd Sessions
 are offered for all Levels at the following times:
                                                 Sunday from 9:00-10:30am

Sessions are held in Kemper Hall in the upstairs Atriums.

The 3-5 year old is capable of receiving and enjoying the most essential elements of our faith- the announcement of God’s love, in the person of the Good Shepherd, who died and is risen.

The child is introduced to God’s Reign as it has unfolded in time, focusing on the three key moments of creation, redemption and the Parousia. The deep need of the child of this age to know better their relationships with God, family, friends and community is explored though the image of the True Vine.

Children of this age dive deeper in to the history of salvation by focusing on the plan of God in history as a plan of communion, a plan which links all people together. “What is the kingdom of god and my place in it?”
