76. The CGS Heritage - Romano Guardini with Annette Witte

The Good Shepherd and the Child

“But these are written that you may come to believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that through this belief you may have life in his name.” John 21:31

Annette Witte joins us on the podcast to dive into the theologian Romano Guardini and his influences on our faith as well as our work in The Catechesis of the Good Shepherd.

Annette Witte has been a CGS Catechist for 25 years and a certified Catechesis of the Good Shepherd Formation Leader for the past 12 years. She received a Master’s of Pastoral Studies from Aquinas Institute of Theology in St. Louis, MO in 2014. Currently, she assists children in Level II at St. Pius X Catholic Church in Tucson, AZ. She recently moved to Arizona from Michigan with her husband, Joe, with whom she has five children and soon to be six grandchildren.

UPDATE- Audiobook – Now Available on Audible

CGSUSA is excited to offer you the audio version of The Religious Potential of the Child – 3rd Edition by Sofia Cavalletti, read by Rebekah Rojcewicz!

The Religious Potential of the Child is not a “how-to” book, complete with lesson plans and material ideas. Instead it offers a glimpse into the religious life of the atrium, a specially prepared place for children to live out their silent request: “Help me come closer to God by myself.” Here we can see the child’s spiritual capabilities and perhaps even find in our own souls the child long burdened with religious information. This book serves as a companion to the second volume, The Religious Potential of the Child 6 to 12 Years Old. The desire to have this essential text available in audio has been a long-held goal for many. The work of many hands has combined to bring this release to life as an audiobook.
