Catechesis of the Good Shepherd (CGS) is a Montessori-based method of faith formation for children from toddler to age 12 (the toddler atrium is for ages 1-3, Level I for ages 3-6, Level II for ages 6-9, and Level III for ages 9-12). CGS seeks to create and facilitate a sacred, hands-on space for children called an atrium, in which both the children and the catechists can hear, ponder, and celebrate the mysteries of the Christian faith as revealed through Scripture and Liturgy. Through their work in the atrium, children nurture and grow in their relationship with God.
