Catechesis of the Good Shepherd is a hands-on, Montessori-based faith formation for children ages 3 through 6th grade. It nurtures a child’s relationship with God through scripture, liturgy, and rich sensory experiences in a sacred space called the Atrium. Children reflect on Bible stories and prayers by working with materials like figures of the Good Shepherd and sheep, a miniature altar, or baptism symbols—engaging their hearts and minds in the great mysteries of the Christian faith.
