*Maria Montessori's pioneering work (1917) in the field of education and the developmental and spiritual needs of the child are the foundation of The Catechesis of the Good Shepherd Program. In 1954, Sofia Cavalletti and Gianna Gobbi  developed the program drawing  upon Montessori's work: her religious schools, religious materials, research, and experience  as depicted in Montessori’s many books including; The Child in the Church, (1937).   Cavalletti's classic work describing her experience with children  is The Religious Potential of the Child ( 1992)
