Founded in 1954, the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd has attempted to further develop the work of Dr. Maria Montessori in the realm of the spiritual life of the child. Themes are presented in such a way as to develop the religious potential present in every child: the capacity to love and be loved and be in a deep relationship with God. This course covers the minimum of 96 hours of formation needed to receive Level 2 Certification from the National Association of Catechesis of the Good Shepherd.
