Helper Training
ALL parents are very strongly encouraged to attend the upcoming Helper Formation, whether or not you plan to or will be able to help in the atria. (Childcare is available!!) It will give you a very helpful background of the CGS method that will help you understand your child's experiences in the atrium, as well as help you bring the atrium experience into your home!
Helper Formation will be held Labor Day Weekend, September 2-5 at the Oustalet Center, from 9am to 4:30pm Friday & Saturday, noon to 4:30pm Sunday, and 9am to 3pm on Monday. (Childcare is available!) This is the first session of the Level I Catechist training. Attendance at this first session is sufficient for being a helper, but don't be surprised if you want to continue attending the other sessions in November, January & March! We would love to have you finish the complete course and become a trained catechist, even though you only want to be a helper in the atrium!
