About Catechesis of the Good Shepherd

Catechesis of the Good Shepherd is for children ages 3-9. “We believe that God and child have a unique relationship with one another particularly before the age of six.” With the prepared environment called “the Atrium” and presentations done by a

Making music. First of all, practices are things we do. A child or adult can participate in a practice such as hospitality through warm acts of welcome, even without comprehending the biblical stories and theological convictions that encourage and undergird this practice.
