The Catechesis of the Good Shepherd - St. Michael Church
Introduction to the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd
Welcome to the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd program offered by Behind the Veil Christian Ministries at St. Michael Church. Discover the transformative power of this unique catechetical approach that nurtures children's spirituality and deepens their relationship with God in a rich, hands-on environment.
What is the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd?
The Catechesis of the Good Shepherd is an innovative catechetical method that originated in the 1950s. It is based on the principles of Maria Montessori, a renowned Italian educator. This program offers a unique approach to religious education, with a focus on deepening children's understanding of the Christian faith through experiential learning.
At St. Michael Church, we are dedicated to providing an environment where children can encounter God at their own pace. In our specially prepared atrium, children engage with hands-on materials and reflective experiences, allowing them to develop a personal and meaningful relationship with God.
Why Choose the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd?
The Catechesis of the Good Shepherd program stands out for its ability to meet children where they are in their spiritual journey. It recognizes that children have a unique capacity for wonder, awe, and contemplation. By providing them with age-appropriate materials and activities, the program invites children to explore the mysteries of their faith in an engaging and meaningful way.
Through the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd, children encounter key lessons from the Bible, learn about liturgy and sacraments, and are exposed to the rich traditions and practices of the Church. This holistic approach ensures that children gain a comprehensive understanding of their faith while fostering a love for God and His Church.
