Topics included regional sustainability of atria and keeping the cost low for the training of new catechists. Also, in the last few years, the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd Association world wide has had the added privilege and responsibility of supporting Mother Teresa’s sisters, the Missionaries of Charity, as they seek to serve the poorest of the poor children by sharing the love of Jesus in atria all over the world.
Kim Ward, Pastoral Assistant for Faith Formation said, “it brings great joy to our hearts and deep friendships are forged as we ask God for the humility to together, listen to God with children.”
