Catechesis of the Good Shepherd

- CGS at Nativity
  
  The motto of the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd is: "Help me fall in love with God by myself." In this program the image of Christ as the Good Shepherd who loves his sheep and gives everything He is for them forms the center of the young child’s relationship with God. The Good Shepherd knows His sheep and calls them by their name. The child comes to discover who the Shepherd is and who the they are – His children. In the midst of this blossoming relationship these same children are exposed to small, isolated items and “moments” of the Mass. They hold a small chalice, learn to name each of the vestments that the priest wears, and wonder at what occurs at specific moments of the liturgy. Their relationship with the Good Shepherd is
  nurtured in such a way that they are preparing to live the fullness of the life of the Catholic Church through the liturgy and the sacraments. They begin to realize the depth of Christ’s love for us, as it is revealed to us through these sacraments, particularly the Eucharist.
  
  The Good Shepherd program has borne much fruit in the past few years in this Archdiocese. It is exciting to be able watch this method of catechesis continue to grow. We have great trust in the grace that our children have received at their Baptism and are excited to show them that this Catholic faith.
