The United States Association of The Catechesis of the Good Shepherd

The United States Association of The Catechesis of the Good Shepherd Honoring the Religious Potential of the Child The Catechesis of the Good Shepherd is an approach to the religious formation of children.

It is rooted in the Bible, the liturgy of the church, and the educational principles of Maria Montessori. Children gather in an "atrium," a room prepared for them, which contains simple yet beautiful materials they use to help them absorb the most essential proclamations of the Christian faith.

This year, we are delighted to share Peyton’s artwork and draw our annual appeal theme from her reflections. Peyton’s art reminds us that faith is not only something we speak about; faith becomes visible through our hands and our hearts.

Your generosity helps CGSUSA put love into action. Please consider giving a gift to the Annual Appeal. Your gift helps cultivate spaces where children learn that their hands can serve, their minds can seek truth, and their hearts can be formed in the love of Christ.

On August 21, we celebrate the 109th anniversary of the birth of Sofia Cavalletti, and on August 23, we mark fifteen years since she returned home to the Bridegroom, the Good Shepherd whom she had served with such joy.

Sofia once shared that, with the simplicity and trust of a child, she had asked God for the grace to return the gift of her life in the same month in which it had been given to her. On August 23, 2011, just two days after her 94th birthday, that prayer was fulfilled.

As we remember Sofia’s birth and her return to the Father, we give thanks for her life, for her friendship with Gianna, for her extraordinary attentiveness to the child, and for her faithfulness to the gifts God placed in her care.

Her life was a gift, freely received and freely returned. And in the mystery of Christ’s love, that gift continues to bear fruit.

Thank you, Sofia. And thanks be to God, the giver of every good gift.
