Catechesis of the Good Shepherd

Level 1 for ages 3-5

CGS is an experiential religious education based on nurturing the child’s relationship with God. In the CGS space, a specially prepared environment called the “atrium,” children come to know Jesus through their hands-on work with specialized materials.

CGS is:

• hands on faith formation
• based on the Montessori method
• centered on knowing Jesus and building the child’s relationship with God
• uses specialized materials for experiencing scripture and liturgy

CGS Level 1 is for children aged 3 through Kindergarten and is our only faith formation option for this age group.

Catechists for Level 1 of CGS have received 100 hours of training in this method.
