Catechesis of the Good Shepherd

- The CGS Approach
  
  We believe that God and the child have a unique relationship with one another, particularly before the age of six; that the growth of this relationship should be assisted by the adult, but is directed by the Spirit of God; that children need their own place to foster the growth of that relationship; and that the child’s spiritual growth is best served through tangible but indirect means.
- 2022 Program Information
  
  Catechesis of the Good Shepherd will begin on Sunday, September 11, 2022, from 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM in the meeting room at St. Michael Church. Use the registration form below to secure your spot! SPACE IS LIMITED!! We are able to have 12 children ages 3 through Kindergarten in our program this year! Children must be 3 by September 15, 2022 and be potty trained.
  
  To learn more about our program please contact Beth Diehl at bethdiehl@gmail.com.
- Catechesis of the Good Shepherd is a faith formation program for preschool-kindergarten children (ages 3-6 years old) that we hope to start at Holy Cross this fall. This program uses hands-on materials based on Scripture and Liturgy to help children deepen their love for the Lord. Presentations cover the Parable of the Good Shepherd, parables of the Kingdom of God, Infancy narratives, Paschal narratives, geography of the land of Israel, and elements of the Mass.
