Religious Education

The Catechesis of the Good Shepherd (CGS) is an approach to the religious formation of children 3-12 years of age. It originated in 1954 with the founding of the first atrium or classroom in Rome, Italy, by Sophia Cavalletti, and was inspired by the principles of Maria Montessori. The Catechesis is based on the conviction that God and the child are in relationship. The child has a deep need to experience, and a special capacity to enjoy, the presence of God. The task of the adult is to help the child fully live the encounter with God and Jesus, the Good Shepherd. When helped to do so, this experience becomes formative of the child’s whole person and generates great joy.
