-Catechesis of the Good Shepherd

We are excited to start the process of beginning a Catechesis of the Good Shepherd Level I Atrium at St. Francis Xavier.

What is Catechesis of the Good Shepherd? From their website: “CGS is a common religious experience involving children and adults in which the religious values of childhood, primarily those values of contemplation and enjoyment of God, are predominant. This experience is shared in a place particularly prepared for the religious life of children called the Atri-um.”

But we need your help! It takes a lot of work and materials to set up an atrium. If you can help with any of the items listedbelow please contact Katelin. Also, if you are able to sew, do carpentry, or love doing crafts (we need many small shelves, items built or sewn, and put together) please contact Katelin.

Needs list:(Please check back each week as we continue to grow our Atrium)

Small low tables (think for preschool age children to sit on floor or small chairs)

Small lamps

Basic child sizedcleaning tools (broom, mop, dustpan, hand brush, duster)

Small/Medium statues: Holy Family, Jesus as the Good Shepherd

Hand towels

**We really need some more help with building small models of items seen in a church (altar, tabernacle, etc.) and small dioramas of events that happened in the bible (the visitation, the annunciation etc.) I have instruction manuals and dia-grams for all items. Just need someone who can cut to size and put them together!**
