Catechesis of the Good Shepherd (CGS) is a form of hands-on religious formation for children 3-5 years of age. CGS was a collaborative effort of Sofia Cavalletti and Gianna Gobbi, combining their knowledge of Montessori-based education and teachings of the Catholic Church.

CGS meets every Sunday from 9:30-10:45 a.m. in the St. Catherine Room in the church. The 2022-2023 year runs October 2 -May 7.  

Through materials, the child will encounter Christ the Good Shepherd (image to the right), the Infancy Narratives, the Kingdom of God, and more.

   Catechesis of the Good Shepherd:

• honors the smallness
• focuses on the essentials of our relationship with God and the natural world
• supports the child's natural wonder and awe
• supports the growth of a relationship with God
