Catechist Formation

Catechist Formation at Holy Trinity

CGS catechists receive 90+ hours of training before leading a CGS class.   Catechists find their own spiritual life is fed as well as the spiritual lives of the children they serve. Volunteers willing to assist the lead Catechists are also welcome, this is a nice way to begin learning about this unique program.

We believe in offering religious formation that enables children to draw closer to God by themselves.

Catechesis of the Good Shepherd (CGS) offers formation for adults, empowering them to proclaim God’s Word and aspects of Liturgy in ways that will deeply resonate within children. These proclamations, along with the materials in the atrium, help children to continue meditating on the truths proclaimed by the adult as the children draw closer to God by themselves.

We offer adults ongoing formation opportunities that consist of:

1. Learning how to proclaim God’s mysteries to children
2. Learning how to make materials children can use to meditate on the mysteries proclaimed
3. Additional reflections that lead adults into a deeper, more joyful, more complete understanding of their Catholic faith.
