Overview

In the early 20th Century, German educators Dr. H. Steiglitz and Rev. Michael Gatterer, S.J. developed a method of teaching the Catechism to children inspired by Our Lord's teaching in parables. By first appealing to the imagination of the child through storytelling or pictures, the lesson is more easily absorbed and understood. This method, which came to be known as The Munich Method, was brought to the United States through the work of Rev. George Dennerle, who here presents an English translation and adaptation of one of the key manuals of this movement, Augustine Gruber's Elementarkatechesen.

"""The best description of Father Dennerle's work is to call it the method of Christ, the greatest Teacher and Pedagogist..."" -The Salesianum, 1932 ""Priests should use themselves and should make available to their primary school teachers a booklet adapted from the German by the Rev. George M. Dennerle, Leading the Little Ones to Christ...the book does more than merely present the contents of the First Communion instruction: it teaches also the technique and the tone of the instruction. Using the best of modern pedagogical methods, Father Dennerle presents in almost each lesson first the doctrine, and then in order the application of the doctrine, some religious practice, a prayer, and a specific form of personal activity."" - The Ecclesiastical Review, July 1933"
