Catechesis of the Good Shepherd

Catechesis of the Good Shepherd (CGS) is a Montessori religious education program rooted in sacred scripture and liturgy of the Church. It began in Rome in the 1950s by a few Catholic women that worked with Maria Montessori. Learn more here: https://www.cgsusa.org/.

St. Jerome will be offering Catechesis of the Good Shepherd on Monday mornings for 3-6 year old children that are potty trained and able to separate from their parent. CGS will start on Monday, September 11 and be held weekly throughout the school year from 9-10:30am.

Melisa Baker is the lead catechist for this class and is trained in Catechesis of the Good Shepherd levels 1 and 2 and has been a Catechist since 2013. She is EIM certified and will have an EIM certified assistant also present during the sessions.

In this lovely form of Catechesis, the child is able to spend time with Jesus, the true teacher, with help of the Catechist, in a beautifully prepared environment.

Sign-ups are now available. There is a $30 fee per year for supplies. The atrium (environment where CGS is held) is located in the annex at St. Jerome. Space is limited to approximately 12 children. You do not have to be a member of St. Jerome to participate - all are welcome!
