What is Catechesis of the Good Shepherd?

Catechesis of the Good Shepherd is an interactive form of catechesis where children explore with hands-on materials to understand the Bible and the Mass. This religious experience fosters the growth of the relationship between God and the child in a place specially prepared for the religious life of children called the Atrium.

The Top 5 Reasons to become a trained catechist are:

1. To build social relationships with like-minded people.
2. Catechist Formation is a retreat in which you will come to know more about, understand, and love our Catholic faith.
3. To help Saint Thomas More be able to provide CGS to our children.
4. To directly help grow the Kingdom of God through evangelization.
5. So your own children or grandchildren can learn about their faith and the Bible through CGS!
