Advent, Prophecies and Prophets

In Catechesis of the Good Shepherd during Advent we spend our time with the prophets. It is quite fascinating as a Catechist to explore what the prophets said about the Messiah  before he came. The children also find it quite exhilarating. These prophecies lend themselves to some great artwork.

The work below is from CGS level III children of St. Dennis Parish and School


Isaiah 9:6




from Numbers 24




In Level III we also spend sometime learning about the prophets who left us these prophecies. Who were these people? Why did God choose them? How did God choose them? What was special about them?

The drawing below is one child's depiction of the Call of Isaiah.
