This fascinating volume offers a photographic record of the birthplace of the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd. In Sofia Cavalletti’s own words, readers are guided through the atrium, beginning in the place where this profound experience first unfolded more than sixty years ago.
"This excellent book invites the reader to enter into the original atria of the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd with the same wonder, joy, and quietness of the children who came there to hear and listen to the voice of Jesus, the Good Shepherd. More than just a guided tour, this book offers an anchor point in which those engaged in Catechesis can see how the same spirit animates the work of CGS today."
—Ryan Hanning, Former Director of Family Catechesis, Diocese of Phoenix, and a CGS Level One catechist
“This book is a treasure. Ever respectful of the child's developmental stages, this book shows the close relationship between the child’s interior life and the capacity for a relationship with the Good Shepherd. I highly recommend this book to all catechists who strive to bring the child into closer communion with Jesus. Parents and grandparents who desire their children to know and love Jesus will also treasure this book. Indeed, reading this book, persons of any age will be brought closer to the Good Shepherd.”
—Sr. Joan Curtin, CND
Director, Archdiocesan Catechetical Office
Archdiocese of New York
"While the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd Atrium DVD series is a wonderful way to give us a glimpse inside the via degli Orsini Rome atria, these new books give us the opportunity to linger over the beautiful photographs of the materials by Douglas Gilbert and to slow down to better study and digest the richness of Sofia’s words about the history of the work, the materials, and the drawings she shares that were done by the children. These lovely books allow me to progress at a slower pace to savor all that they contain without ever once having to press a rewind or pause button to take it in again!"
—Donna Turner,
Catechist and Formation Leader,Coordinator of CGS, St. Philip Episcopal Church, Memphis
