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.

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.
