Catechesis of the Good Shepherd is a Montessori inspired approach to the religious formation of children, rooted in Sacred Scripture, Liturgy and respect for the child’s rich relationship with God.
The children gather in a specially prepared space called an Atrium. A typical session includes prayer, a presentation on scripture or liturgy, and time for the children to work with the prepared materials and quietly ponder the mysteries presented.
The Level I Atrium is prepared for children ages 3 – 6 year old (K).
The Level II Atrium is prepared for children ages 6 – 9, 1st grade – 3rd grade.
Level 1 and Level 2 meet on Wednesday evenings 6:30 pm – 8: 00 pm at the Saint James Parish Center.
