If we want to help the child draw nearer to God,
we should with patience and courage seek to go always
closer to the vital nucleus of things.
This requires study and prayer.
The child will be our teacher if we know how to observe.

What is Catechesis of the Good Shepherd?
The Catechesis of the Good Shepherd is an approach to the religious formation of children. It is rooted in the Bible, the liturgy of the church, and the educational principles of Maria Montessori. Children gather in an "atrium," a room prepared for them, which contains simple yet beautiful materials they use to help them absorb the most essential proclamations of the Christian faith.
The Catechesis of the Good Shepherd is a sensorially rich experience for children from the ages of 3 to 12 years that gives children the opportunity to grow in love and knowledge of God through the Christian tradition.
