The Catechesis of the Good Shepherd is a Montessori-based religious formation program for children, beginning at the age of three.  It 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 most essential mysteries of the Christian faith as revealed in the scriptures and the liturgy.  Originally developed in Rome by Dr. Sofia Cavalletti and Gianna Gobbi almost 50 years ago, the Catechesis continues to spread worldwide and is used with adaptation in various Christian traditions. 

The Catechesis of the Good Shepherd Program will help develop the children’s relationship with God and help them become an active participant in the liturgy and communal life of the church.

Catechesis of the Good Shepherd takes place on Sunday mornings from 10:00-11:15 am. Click here to register. Call Mrs. Brown at 412-486-5521 if you have additional question.
