Christ depicted as the Good Shepherd was actually the most common depiction of our Lord in the Early Church period. Below are some examples from catacomb murals, and from the mausoleum of Galla Placicia.

While in the Atrium, children occupy themselves principally with the work in front of them. They do not spend significant time standing or sitting still looking up at the wall, much less standing close to one wall looking deeply into a particular scene.

Under the leadership of Fr. Aidan, the CGS catechists and many other members of our parish have long dreamed of creating physical Atrium Classrooms that fully express their liturgical reality. In this sense, we want each Atrium to as closely resemble the Nave of a Temple as possible.
