Celebrating the Centenary of
Gianna Gobbi
with 100 Days of Joy!
Count Down - Day 35
The Good Shepherd

Gina, Age 6 
Good Shepherd Atrium St Aloysius Church Creston, PA

Gina has been working in an atrium since she was three. She has had the time and the place to contemplate and enjoy the parable of the Good Shepherd. This can be seen in the drawing she makes. Look closely at the expressions of the figures. The Good Shepherd has a giant smile and holds the lamb in his arms so lovingly that that arm is colored red, the color of much love. The lamb in his arms sits secure and peacefully joyful. The lamb at his feet wraps herself around him with great tenderness and gazes up at him. Gina names the Shepherd and the sheep with her words, yet her picture announces so much more. Around the country, children are discovering and celebrating this relationship in the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd.
We are pleased to celebrate the Centenary of Gianna Gobbi's birth, a milestone in the history of
the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd by sharing this
"Pearl of Joy" with you!
several of the pearls in the pearl shell
Today, Monday, November 11, 2019 is our 35th day in our countdown of 100 days leading to the celebration of Gianna Gobbi's Centenary. 

On Mondays during this count down, we are sharing pearls of joy found in the children's words or in their art work.
