Catechesis of the Good Shepherd is a faith formation program that uses hands-on materials to guide children into deeper prayer with God. The method is rooted in Sacred Scripture, Liturgy, and respect for the child’s rich relationship with God. Catechesis of the Good Shepherd looks to be a whole parish initiative allowing each parishioner to help, using their own unique gifts, to form the youngest of our parish.
"An interpersonal relationship is always a mystery, all the more so when the relationship is between God and the child. We believe there is a deep bond between God and the child which produces in the child the desire to draw nearer to God. The adult, the catechist’s role is to prepare the environment, to offer selected presentations from scripture and liturgy. The catechist listens with the child and together they ask, 'God, who are you? How do you love us?'"
