What if faith formation for children could be both deeply contemplative and joyfully hands-on? In this episode of Living LIT—Living In Truth, Robyn welcomes Jodi Reel, a coordinator and catechist for Catechesis of the Good Shepherd (CGS), to explore this beautiful, Montessori-based approach to Catholic catechesis.
Together, they dive into what CGS is, how it nurtures a child’s personal relationship with God, and why it’s such a gift not only for children but also for parents, catechists, and parish communities. Whether you’re a parent, educator, or simply curious about all the buzz with Catechesis of the Good Shepherd, this episode offers an inspiring look at how the Good Shepherd calls each of us—especially the littlest ones—into His love.
In this episode:
What makes CGS different from traditional religious education
How the “Atrium” becomes a sacred space for children
The powerful impact CGS has on families and catechists
How you can get involved, whether as a parent or parish leader
Come and see how children, in their simplicity, often lead us more deeply into the mystery of God.
