Catechesis of the Good Shepherdst. paul parishCatechesis of the Good Shepherd (CGS) provides a sacred space, called an Atrium, for the faith formation of children from ages 3 to 12 (6th grade). The focus of the program is to deepen the child's existing relationship with God; to encourage the formation of a personal prayer life; to participate fully in the liturgical and sacramental life of the Catholic Church; and to develop a deeper understanding of Catholic identity and tradition. CGS utilizes the educational principles of Maria Montessori.
CGS is based on the belief that God and the child are already in a relationship and provides a place where that relationship can grow through the assistance of trained catechists. Specially designed materials and inspiring presentations help children explore areas of faith formation appropriate to their developmental age.
