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.

In addition, families enrolled in Catechesis of the Good Shepherd will gather with other PSR families several times throughout the year for fellowship and formation activities.
