CGS is a Montessori-based program of religious education for children. Assumption currently offers Level 1 CGS, for children ages 3-6 years old. In the Atrium (the environment where CGS is offered) children are introduced to “prayer works” to contemplate the life of Jesus, parables, the liturgy, and more. Each week children may receive a presentation about the Holy Mass, the Infancy Narratives, or artwork, and the session always includes prayer time. From the pictures you can see that the children use a variety of handmade materials in the Atrium.
During the COVID quarantine and summer break, materials for Level 2 (for children 6-9 years old) started to appear in the Atrium! This expansion is wonderful for the first grade children in the school who will be able to use these new works.
During the 2020-2021 school year, the Atrium will only be open for children in Assumption Parish School or Assumption Early Learning Center (AELC). Due to current restrictions and school use, we are unable to offer sessions for parish children who do not attend these programs.
We hope to be able to offer CGS to our parish children next school year!
