This Tuesday, November 17 Angie Bielefeld will be speaking about Sofia Cavaletti, who wrote a beautiful religious education curriculum partly based on the Montessori format.



Cavalletti, along with her colleague Gianna Gobbi, began to work with children's religious formation in 1954. She was first inspired to understand children's spirituality after a discussion over a passage of scripture with several youngsters. The children's engagement and response to the discussion caused her to seek a deeper understanding of the relationship between God and the child. Cavalletti and Gobbi collaborated for more than 50 years, basing their approach on the principles of education developed by Maria Montessori


Angie Bielefeld is the founder and currently serves as the president of Casa Dei Bambini (The Children’s House), a nonprofit located in the heart of Wichita. They work to introduce children ages 3-12 years old to the love of the Good Shepherd through a common religious experience via the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd.

We will livestream this talk on the Eighth Day Institute page as well as on Zoom at 6:30. Questions for our speaker can be asked on Zoom or posted on Facebook. Convocation and lecture will begin at 6:30. You will need to download a free Zoom app to join the meeting to ask questions.
