What is CGS?
Catechesis of the Good Shepherd is a Montessori-based religious formation program for children. It seeks to create and facilitate a sacred, hands-on space called an atrium, in which both the children and their catechists can hear, ponder, and celebrate the most essential mysteries of the Christian faith as revealed in the Scriptures and the liturgy. The atrium is a space where the child develops his/her relationship with God, a relationship which already exists.
We are excited to offer Level I of CGS in August 2026, which serves preschool and kindergarten-aged children.
Save the date: Open House & Blessing
All are welcome to join us for the Open House & Blessing, taking place on Sunday, Aug. 23, from 10:15-11:30 a.m. in the atrium.
