Atrium Training, Consulting, and Support

Get the most impact by pairing your CGS-trained Catechist with a trained Atrium Assistant.  You can have the best atrium year ever with satisfying Atrium Partnerships and friendships by praying together, working out details, and growing relationships before the children come.  The impact of a good Atrium Partnership will benefit you in years to come as others see the joy in your work and come near.

Parent Series and Atrium Staff Retreats

What are children asking us for in their relationship with God?

Prepare Parents and Atrium Staff with a retreat to know the call of the Good Shepherd even more.  Sofia Cavaletti said, "The greatest thing we bring to the children is our own spiritual life and practice."
