"Children are able to give themselves totally to God's love....
the birth of a religious person occurs
through the enjoyment of God's love."

About CCT

The spiritual life of Children is the focus of research at the Center for Children and Theology.  It seeks to listen to the voices of children and to explore the theological gifts children have to offer. Reciprocally, the Center seeks the best theology that the community of faith has to offer children today.

View the CCT Annual Report.


Publications

Echoes is a thematic report filled with succinct, thoughful articles exploring the spirituality of the child. Past issues have included topics such as Gospel Nonviolence and the Child, working with children with disabilities, and making space for the child in the church.

About Catechesis of the Good Shepherd

CGS is a religious formation program which fosters the unique relationship between the child and God. The growth of that relationship is assisted by the adult, but is directed by the Spirit of God within the child.
