Catechesis of the Good Shepherd

Catechesis of the Good Shepherd (CGS) is an early childhood/elementary program, rooted in the observations of children and paired with Montessori principles, focusing on the essential elements of the Catholic faith. CGS guides children to scripture and liturgy, allowing them to encounter Christ by themselves. The "Atrium," where catechesis is held, represents a space in between the world and the Church, providing a nurturing environment where children can prepare for and learn about the liturgy.

Volunteer Opportunities:

  • CGS is led by called adults who can serve as guides in the atrium and watch the Holy Spirit work through our children.
