Volunteering with CGS

Catechesis of the Good Shepherd thrives because of the time, talent, and hearts of volunteers—adults who have fallen in love with the Good Shepherd and want to help children discover that same love.

Those who enroll in CGS formation often find themselves surprised and moved by how deeply their own faith is nourished. Before leading a session, catechists complete over 90 hours of training, and many describe the experience as transformative—both spiritually and personally. As they accompany children in their faith journey, their own relationship with God is deepened as well.

We also welcome assistants at all age levels. Parent volunteers, in particular, often cherish the chance to glimpse what their children experience during atrium sessions. Many describe it as a beautiful and meaningful way to connect with their child’s spiritual growth—and children are delighted to have their parents share that sacred space with them.
