What if Every Child Could Have Time and Space
Specially Set Aside
for an Encounter with Christ?
The Catechesis of the Good Shepherd is a time-tested approach for faith formation. It feeds the deepest needs of children, allowing each one to get to know God personally.
In a retreat-like atmosphere, through the use of special materials designed just for 3–12-year-olds, children hear the Word proclaimed and grow in their relationship with God.
The most essential treasures of the Christian faith, from scripture and liturgy, touch the heart of each child and lead to deep contemplation, prayer, and joy.
