CGS is a Montessori-based curriculum that helps the child encounter Christ and His Church through Scripture, Liturgy, and the work of their hands. Specially prepared materials are offered to the child to help them enter more deeply into the truths of our Faith and knowledge of Christ as the Good Shepherd. As a result, the child learns to deeply meditate on Scripture, participate more fully in the Liturgy and the Life of the Church, and contemplate God’s love for them.
St. Francis of Assisi currently hosts CGS Level I (for ages 3-6), Level 2 (for ages 6-9), and Level 3 (for ages 9-12). Because this program requires significant training and preparation to implement, spaces are limited.
To enroll your child, please go to our Children's Catechesis page.
If you’re interested in learning more about this program or are interested in becoming a catechist, please contact our Children's Catechesis Coordinator or visit the United States Association of Catechesis of The Good Shepherd.
