Catechesis of the Good Shepherd Level II (First Holy Communion)

"The desire for God is written in the human heart, because man is created by God and for God; and God never ceases to draw man to himself. Only in God will he find the truth and happiness he never stops searching for." (CCC, #27)

Catechesis of the Good Shepherd (CGS) is a beautiful Montessori type program for our children preparing for First Holy Communion in 2nd grade.  Prior to 2nd grade, children ages 3-6 can also begin forming their minds and hearts in Catechesis of the Good Shepherd Level I.
