CATECHESIS OF THE GOOD SHEPHERD

This Montessori-concept program emphasizes faith formation within a prepared environment called the Atrium. The children work with models of altar materials, infancy narratives, and parables to deepen their relationship with Jesus, the Good Shepherd. Time in the Atrium is scheduled as a regular part of first- and second-grade PSR classes. The Catechesis curriculum supplements traditional religious education in the school program for children in kindergarten through fourth grade.
