Catechesis of the Good Shepherd

The parable of the Good Shepherd is the central parable presented to the younger children- Preschool/Kindergarten (age 4 by Sept 15th.) The most essential need for a child is to be loved and protected. Through this parable they come to know Jesus as their Good Shepherd who loves and cares for them. Younger children respond primarily in the peaceful enjoyment of God's presence, as called forth by the image of Christ, the Good Shepherd. It engages every aspect of the child's being and orients the child in a trusting and joyful way

The Catechist

he work of the catechist is to be spiritually prepared. Training for the catechesis is a rich personal journey that involves a considerable amount of commitment. Most catechists that receive the training are transformed. In the atrium, the primary teacher is Christ, not the catechist. Adults are asked to provide for the child's needs and, most importantly, "Become as little children." The catechist and the child listen and ponder together as they immerse themselves in the Mystery of God.

The Training

The initial training for the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd is intense and demands a great level of commitment. Through the training, one comes to understand and deeply appreciate our faith. Please call Marlene @ 303-978-9257 or Barb @ 303-932-0065 or Linda @303-933-9387 for details. Registration Forms
