Catechesis of the Good Shepherd

Catechesis of the Good Shepherd is a learning model that strives to show the unique relationship between God and the child. Children need their own place to foster the growth of that relationship. The growth of this relationship is assisted by the adult, but is directed by the Spirit of God within the child. Interested in putting your child(ren) in this program?
