Catechesis of the Good Shepherdis a Montessori-style program used for the catechesis of young children, helping them to develop full, active participation in the life of the Church as they grow. It is not a classroom-style method, but rather more like a retreat setting in which different presentations are given to the children involving various points of the Catholic faith.
