 * Capstone Proposal Project 2016**


 * Project Contact:** Maria Antonia Amao, Diocese of San Bernardino, Department of Ministry Formation Institute


 * Project Title:** Catechesis of the Good Shepherd Diocesan Web Page


 * Project Description:**

The Diocese of San Bernardino and the office of Catechetical Ministry are supporting a new method teaching our faith called the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd. Presently we have seven parishes starting or preparing to start this wonderful work. This particular approach to faith formation utilizes the educational principles of Maria Montessori. This work honors the spiritual development of the small child recognizing that the youngest child is already in a relationship with God. Catechists are trained to observe, respond to spiritual needs and recognize that the inner Teacher is the Holy Spirit. Young children cannot read but they can listen to the Word proclaimed and work with tangible but indirect materials that become their meditation. Mary’s house, Elizabeth’s house, The Bethlehem stable, the Temple, a miniature sacristy with articles from Mass are just some of the materials the children work with, sources come from Scripture and Liturgy. Many pastors, directors and coordinators of Catechetical Ministry including catechists have expressed an interest but the Directors and Pastors are just hearing about it. It is urging that we create a web page that they can take a look for themselves if this is something their community might be interested in. The only site to check out is the National Catechesis if the Good shepherd web site [|__www.cgsusa.org__], but as diocese we need to offer our own information and be more connected with our community following the diocesan guideline of social media.
