Catechesis of the Good Shepherd. Catechesis of the Good Shepherd is an approach to the religious formation of children ages 3-12. It is rooted in the Bible, the liturgy of the church, and the educational principles of Maria Montessori. The classes take place in a specially prepared environment called the Atrium. It is a place for prayer and celebration in which the Mass, sacraments, and scripture are presented. The themes presented in the Atrium are those to which the children have responded to with great depth and joy over the past 50 years. Catechesis began in Rome in 1954 and is being used in 19 countries and almost every state. Catechesis of the Good Shepherd meet in houses 200 W. 13th and 202 W. 13th on the parish grounds. Classes begin in September and end in May. Classes meet Sunday, Monday, or Wednesday. The 2nd grade class prepares for First Reconciliation and First Holy Communion. To learn more about the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd contact Keri Cupp, 312-4633, kericupp@sunflower.com or Betsy Harmon, 218-1897, betsyh@sunflower.com.
