Catechesis of the Good Shepherd

The Catechesis of the Good Shepherd (CGS) is a Catholic Montessori approach to the religious formation of children grounded in Sacred Scripture, Catholic Doctrine, Liturgy, and Prayer. Themes are presented to develop the religious potential present in every child: the capacity to love and be loved and be in a deep relationship with God.  This experience is shared in a place particularly prepared for the religious life of the children called the Atrium; the Atrium is a beautiful space intentionally prepared for the children where contemplation and wonder are at the heart.  Through hands-on work and joyful contemplation, the children are invited to nourish their relationship with Jesus and deepen their love for His Church.

CGS was developed by Dr. Sofia Cavalletti, a Catholic Biblical scholar, and Gianna Gobbi in Rome in 1954 and spread throughout the world. It is used in homes, parishes, and schools worldwide.
