Catechesis of the Good Shepherd
This approach to addressing the religious life of children began over 100 years ago with Maria Montessori, was developed by Sofia Cavaletti and Gianna Gobbi and many other collaborators beginning in the 1950’s. It continues to grow today throughout the world. Its basis comes from close observation of children and their religious needs.
The children will meet at Sacred Heart of Mary for a two-hour session each week in a carefully prepared room called an “atrium.” Each atrium is set up for the unique needs of a specific “phase” of childhood: Level I for children aged 3-6 years, Level II for 6-9 years, and Level III for 9-12 years.
The tuition will vary according to parish status and is adjusted according to tithing history and need.
