Religious Education: Catechesis of the Good Shepherd

Blessed Sacrament offers Catechesis of the Good Shepherd (CGS) as our religious education program for kindergarten through fifth grade. Catechesis of the Good Shepherd (CGS) is an approach to the religious education of children with presentations based on the Bible and liturgy. This approach to nurturing the faith life of children evolved from children themselves. It is based on the conviction that God and the child are already in a relationship; the task before us is to help the child deepen that relationship.

An atrium is a carefully prepared environment where great truths about our faith are placed before the children to satisfy their spiritual needs in age-appropriate ways. 

All classes are held in the atria located in the school basement from 3:30-5:00 PM on Wednesdays during the school year. Please download the 2025-2026 CGS Religious Education calendar here.
