Parents, catechists, religious educators, clergy, and other
interested adults are drawn to the very rich, retreat-like courses
in Catechesis of the Good Shepherd.
There are three levels of courses, focusing on children ages 3-6,
6-9, and 9-12. Everyone begins with the Level I
course, which is foundational to becoming attuned to the
religious life of the child.
All courses cover age-appropriate themes for children from the
Bible and liturgy, the purpose and use of the handmade materials,
an introduction to the atrium, experience in presenting materials,
and help in preparing a personal handbook (the catechist
"album").
Courses are offered throughout the country and in varied formats.
The National Association of the Catechesis of the Good
Shepherd grants a certificate upon completion of each
approved course.
