The Diocesan Office of Religious Education invites you to a Saturday Morning Workshop on the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd on January 13, 2018 from 9 AM to 12 PM at Canadian Martyrs Parish, Calgary. Dorothy Burns, former Director of Religious Education for Christ the Redeemer Catholic Schools in Okotoks, and Paula Sabatini, Catechist for the Good Shepherd Catechesis at Canadian Martyrs Parish, will break open this amazing pedagogical method of teaching our children the Faith, which was created by Montessori Educator Gianna Gobi. The morning will also include an opportunity to spend time in the "Atrium", a sacred space created for young children to learn about their faith in a very tactile and experiential way. For more information, call Alicia at 403-218-5505.
