- Children ages 3-5 - Atrium A
- Children ages 6-9 - Atrium B
Children deepen their knowledge and love of God through the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd. In the introductory pamphlet for this curriculum it states, "An interpersonal relationship is always a mystery, all the more so when that relationship is between God and the child. We believe that there is a deep bond between God and the child which produces in the child the desire to draw near God. The catechist's role is to prepare the environment and to make presentations that ‘call forth' the child's response rather than ‘pour in' information. They listen with the child and together ask, ‘God, who are you? How do you love us?' The adult is a co-wonderer with the child as they together enjoy meditating on the questions generated by the Scriptures with the prepared environment as a developmental aid.
