This is a CGSUSA Members Event.

As we come to the 70th Anniversary of Catechesis of the Good Shepherd and the 40th Anniversary of The United States Association of the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd we ask: In light of the importance of these years, how can we best praise God for the gift of the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd? How can we remember, celebrate, and hope for the future together?

As we gather in person and online we seek to give praise, to remember, celebrate, and hope for the future in memory and hope. In our three days we will remember our legacy, celebrate our present work and hope for our future as we celebrate this “friendship of catechists” our association is founded on. Limited space available for both virtual and in person event.
