The Diocese is excited to offer a few CGS training weeks for catechists. 

The Catechesis of the Good Shepherd is an approach to the religious formation of children. It is rooted in the Bible, the liturgy of the church, and the educational principles of Maria Montessori. Children gather in an “atrium,” a room prepared for them, which contains simple yet beautiful materials that they work with to draw closer to Christ in prayer.  

For more information, to plan a visit to an atrium, or for any questions, please contact catechist and Diocesan Coordinator, Katie Haun, at [email protected]
