Catechist Formation at Holy Trinity

Is the Holy Spirit calling you to this sacred work with the Good Shepherd and His children?

Catechesis of the Good Shepherd (CGS) is a collaborative ministry that invites adults to walk alongside children as they grow in their relationship with God. Becoming a CGS catechist involves more than just teaching—it’s a deeply enriching spiritual journey. Catechists complete over 90 hours of formation before leading a class, and many find that their own faith is nourished just as much as the faith of the children they serve.

Not ready to lead just yet? We also welcome volunteers to assist in the atrium. Supporting a lead catechist is a wonderful way to become familiar with this unique and contemplative approach to faith formation.

We offer ongoing adult formation opportunities focused on:

• Proclaiming the mysteries of God to children in ways that speak to their hearts

• Creating materials that support children’s prayer and meditation

• Reflecting more deeply on the Catholic faith, leading to a fuller, more joyful understanding of its richness

Training is available in various formats, including intensive summer sessions and monthly courses. Scholarships and financial assistance are available—we don’t want cost to be a barrier to anyone feeling called to this ministry.
