Catechist Formation
-
“Go into the whole world and proclaim the gospel to every creature.” –Mark 16:15
Each one of us is called to share our faith with others and Catechesis is one of the most important ministries in the church as we share our faith and knowledge with our children and youth. The Catechesis of the Good Shepherd program is looking for volunteers to train to become Level 1 Catechists to work with children ages 3 through Kindergarten. CGS Formation is a unique, retreat-like experience for the adults, not only to learn how to become a CGS Catechist, but also to grow in their own faith journey.

Catechist Formation Course, 2020 - 2021
You are invited to come and share the joy and abundance of the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd! A formation course to become a catechist for The Catechesis of the Good Shepherd (CGS) program is being hosted by Saint Pius X Catholic Church. CGS is a particular approach to the religious formation of children, ages 3-12, which is rooted in Scripture, Liturgy and the educational principles of Maria Montessori. The purpose of CGS is to assist the development of the child’s relationship with Jesus, the Good Shepherd, while respecting the child’s dignity and developmental sensitivities.
This Level 1 formation course is for those who would like to listen to God with children ages 3-6, while serving as CGS catechists and deepening your own faith life. The training will take place over six weekends:
