The Catechesis of the Good Shepherd (CGS) is a way of presenting Sacred Scripture and Liturgy to children in a prepared environment where the children are invited to work with materials and respond to Jesus Christ's message in their own way.
Our prepared environment called the atrium is where the children and catechists work together to further their understanding of God's message.
There are three atriums:
Our hope is that through the child's work, whether it is music, art, reading of the scripture, prayer, care of the atrium or just resting, the child comes closer to the true teacher in Jesus Christ, our Good Shepherd. The Catechesis of the Good Shepherd is intended to be a time to slow down and to take time to explore the riches of our faith which lead us closer to God.
