Catechesis of the Good Shepherd is a hands-on method of faith formation based on the Montessori method of learning. Catechesis of the Good Shepherd utilizes a prepared space for children called the “atrium” and trained catechists. The atrium is filled with child-sized furnishings and manipulative models representing people, places, and objects found in scripture and liturgy. Everything in the atrium is made to feed the deep religious needs of children.
Training in Catechesis of the Good Shepherd Level I prepares adults to work in the atrium with children ages 3-6. This course will: 1. Present the methodology and guiding principles of the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd, 2. Explore the general developmental characteristics, religious nature, and the religious needs of the child, 3. Meditate on Biblical and liturgical themes and presentations presented to the child, 4. Lay the foundation for working with 6-9 and 9-12 year old children in Level II and III atria.
Often adults also find the training courses to be fruitful in their own spiritual lives as well. It is appropriate for those wishing to be catechists as well as others wishing to have a deeper understanding of the spirituality of children. It will broaden one’s ability to observe and learn from children, to listen with children to Scripture, and to deepen one’s enjoyment of God’s presence. "Be still and know I am God."
Catechesis of the Good Shepherd is approved by the Diocese of Manchester as a supplemental faith formation program.
