What is Catechesis of the Good Shepherd (CGS)?
CGS is a Montessori-based Catholic faith formation program where children can grow in their relationship with God through a deep engagement in Scripture and liturgy. CGS is based on the belief that God and the child are already in relationship. Our work as adults is to provide a place for the child and God to come together and grow.

A conference for parish leaders, initiation ministers, and regional or diocesan trainers, the National Gathering on Christian Initiation® explores the theoretical and practical aspects of initiation ministry. Through interactive sessions, meetings, and prayer opportunities, participants will understand more deeply that the vision of the Order of Christian Initiation of Adults is the vision of the parish as a community of disciples.
