Catechesis of the Good Shepherd (CGS)

The Catechesis of the Good Shepherd is a totally different take on catechesis that is inspired by the Montessori method.

It is based on the idea of a well prepared environment (called the Atrium) and a well prepared adult, the Catechist.

It recognises the religious potential of the child.

My reading notes:

• Catechesis of the Good Shepherd: An Introduction

Some books that make good background reading:

• The Religious Potential of the Child by Sofia Cavalletti
• Listening to God With Children by Gianna Gobbi
• The Good Shepherd and the Child: A Joyful Journey, edited by Rebekah Rojcewicz
• The Catechesis of the Good Shepherd in a Parish Setting by Tina Lillig
