Catechesis of the Good Shepherd
CGS is a Catholic religious education program for children 3-12. It uses hands-on materials to help children grow in knowledge of liturgy and scripture through relationship, prayer, and discussion. Children meet weekly in a specially prepared environment called an atrium. In the atrium adult catechists present materials to children, either individually or in a small group allowing them to work with and meditate on scripture, liturgy and the life of the church. If you are interested in being trained as a CGS Catechist there will be a few training sessions in our diocese this summer.

Power Hour
Join us Tuesdays at 1 p.m. This is an opportunity to meet with other parish catechetical leaders (PCL) from around our diocese to grow in both spiritual and professional development, and to have a space to bounce ideas off one another and inspire and encourage one another in your shared mission. Zoom invitations will be sent to the PCL email list weekly. If you are new or newly diving into our offerings, we invite you to join the PCL email list and join our new PCL community platform ComeFollow.Me. If you are not already receiving these PCL emails, you can sign up on the diocesan For Youth Leaders webpage.
