The Catechesis of the Good Shepherd is a program of Christian faith formation for children aged 3 through to 12 years, where they can experience and form an authentic relationship with God.

The Catechesis is grounded in scriptural and liturgical study framed by Maria Montessori's principles and philosophy of education. This allows children to hear the Gospel through the use of sensorially rich materials. The children are free to work with these materials that present essential proclamations of the Christian message.

Today the Catechesis can be found in many liturgical traditions (Lutheran, Anglican, Catholic, Presbyterian and Methodist) as well as in schools throughout the world.
