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.

Might the Holy Spirit be leading you to join us in this collaborative work with the Good Shepherd and the children?
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 offer adults ongoing formation opportunities that consist of:- Learning how to proclaim God’s mysteries to children
- Learning how to make materials children can use to meditate on the mysteries proclaimed
- Additional reflections that lead adults into a deeper, more joyful, more complete understanding of their Catholic faith
If you are interested in training, please explore both consolidated summer sessions as well as monthly options. Scholarships are available.
