Catechesis of the Good Shepherd (CGS) is a Montessori-based faith formation method intended for children ages 3-12. This approach recognizes the personal connection between God and each child, inviting them to explore and deepen their understanding of their faith and their relationship with God through prayer, scripture, and liturgy. A space called the atrium is created for students to learn more about their faith and their relationship with God. This fall, we will be offering this program to 3-5 year olds and Kindergartners of the parish from September to April. Classes are capped at 8 students.
Discounts are available for parents willing to be trained and teach for this program. Contact Melissa Tucker if you would like more information.
9-12th grade
We do not have formal faith formation classes for 9th – 12th graders. We do encourage small group discussions for high school youth who want to go deeper in their faith life or who struggle with their Catholic beliefs. Contact our Youth Coordinator, Brian Nilles, to inquire about joining a small group. High schoolers are also encouraged to join their peers for youth ministry meetings and events. Click HERE for more info on the High School Youth Ministry program.

Having never been a teacher, how do I learn to teach?
Your CRE will assist you. In-services are provided several times a year that deal with effective teaching techniques as well as growing in your faith.
Who will assist me with lesson plans?
The teaching guides are designed for the non-professional teacher. They are user friendly and have a multitude of ideas on how to prepare and present lessons.
Without a background in theology, how am I able to pass on the faith?
The role of catechists is not based on a professional background in theology, rather, the ability to share faith, live faith, and journey with young people as their faith develops and matures.
What if I don’t know the answers to the questions young people ask?
It is perfectly okay to say “I don’t know, but I will find out.” Resources are available through your CRE and the Archdiocese. You will learn together with young people.
Please contact a member of our Faith Formation team at (563) 556-7511 for more information on how you can give of your time and talent.
