Catechesis of the Good Shepherd (CGS) is an approach to faith formation based on the educational principles of Maria Montessori. It was started in Rome by Sofia Cavalletti (a Hebrew Scripture scholar) and Gianna Gobbi (a Montessori directress), and has spread to several countries throughout the world. 

The children are instructed in the faith in a room called the atrium, which was originally the space in the church in which the catechumens were prepared for their full reception into the church. It is in the atrium that the children learn about different aspects of liturgy and scripture in a way that is appropriate to their age and developmental level. 

We were delighted to welcome the Kindergarteners to the atrium. We start the year with a Celebration called the Enthronement of the Bible. We began by talking about the most important part of our prayer table – the Holy Bible. “It is our most precious book that we have in the Church because it contains the Word of God.” During the procession, the children walk slowly and carefully around the atrium singing and carrying items to be placed on the prayer table (a small cross, a candle, the green prayer cloth, a Bible stand, The Holy Bible, a statue of the Good Shepherd, a lovely prayer card, beautiful flowers, etc.). Every child had an item to place on the prayer table. We then lit our candle and spent time listening and meditating on John 8:12 together before concluding our celebration with favorite atrium songs.
