Catechesis of the Good Shepherd (CGS)

St. Eugene Cathedral will again be offering the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd method of faith formation for three through six-year-old children in the coming school year. This method gives children a tactile experience with God's Holy Word by offering models alongside readings from the Bible. The children focus on Jesus' life and His description of the Kingdom of God. Children also gain a deeper understanding of the Mass through physical experiences of working with model materials. The children celebrate each liturgical season, as well as the concepts associated with it. This environment designed for young children is called the Atrium. Practical life lessons such as pouring, scooping, and sorting are also offered, helping children master the physical world in which they are still so new.
