Sponsor a Catechist | Invest in the Spiritual Life of the Child

This year Aquinas College is offering week-long intensive residential formation courses in the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd. These prayerful, immersive courses form catechists not only in method, but in the interior life needed to accompany children in their relationship with God.

The cost of one week-long intensive residential CGS formation is $1,450 per catechist, which includes instruction, lodging, and meals. Each course serves up to 24 participants, creating a deeply prayerful and formative community. Your gift—at any level—helps ensure that financial limitations do not prevent a catechist from responding to God’s call.

Seed Planter — $250
Provides partial tuition assistance, helping offset the cost of formation for a catechist in need.

Atrium Companion — $500
Covers a significant portion of one catechist’s weekly formation expenses.

Scripture Bearer — $725
Sponsors half of one catechist’s full residential formation.

Good Shepherd Sponsor — $1,450
Sponsors one catechist for a full week-long intensive residential formation, including tuition, lodging, and meals.

Course Sponsor — $34,800
Sponsors an entire formation course for up to 24 catechists, making it possible for a full atrium community of adults to be formed and sent forth to serve children in parishes and communities.

One sponsored catechist may serve dozens of children each year. An entire sponsored course can impact hundreds of children and families across multiple parishes.

If you feel called to support the spiritual life of the child, we invite you to consider sponsoring a catechist or contributing at any level.

Thank you for your generosity and your partnership in this work.
