St. Nicholas to Host Church School Training June 15-20, 2020

St. Nicholas will host training in the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd June 15-30, 2020.

Based on the educational philosophy of Maria Montessori and adapted to Orthodox parishes, the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd is a program that provides well-rounded education in the Christian faith that recognizes the gifts and abilities of the 3- to 6-year-olds it’s directed to.

The training forms the adult to serve the child, providing a prepared space where the child can experience silence, order and concentration in works based on practical life, the Liturgy and the Bible.

The workshop happens from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday, June 15-20, 2020.

The workshop presenter will be Shelley Finkler​, Formation Leader for the National Association of the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd and Director of Catechesis of the Good Shepherd at St. John Orthodox Cathedral in Eagle River, Alaska.
