Description of Products - Overview:

  • We offer items for you at Garden of Francis in hopes that you have reached out to your community resources first - we want to serve you and your atrium space, while at the same time maintaining the 32 Points of Reflection of the Catechesis.
  • It is the understanding by all of us at Garden of Francis that those persons ordering CGS materials from Garden of Francis have attended a formation course, or otherwise have experience with the atrium such that each person is familiar with the 32 Points of Reflection - several of which specifically pertain to the spiritual aspects of material-making. Please use this material-making time as a spiritual reflection on the nature of the materials, maintain simplicity and avoid all things consumerism in this most wonderful of pursuits: the passing of the Faith to our precious little ones.

Please refer to these photographs, your CGS formation course, other catechists or the materials manual for additional information on constructing the materials.
