Catechist Formation Training
Cenacle Resources is a nonprofit organization that promotes the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd in the Diocese of Sacramento. Cenacle typically offers at least one catechist formation course beginning each Spring. Each course involves over 100 hours of training, usually spread over twelve months. Catechists must be certified in Level 1 (catechesis for 3-6 year olds) before training in Level 2 (6-9 year olds), and must be certified in Level 2 before training in Level 3 (9-12 year olds). Click a link below for details on a particular training. Note that all trainings are contingent upon a sufficient number of enrollees.
| Schedule | Level | Location |
| April 2018 - April 2019 | Level 1 (catechesis for 3-6 year-olds) | Sacramento (Elverta) |
| June 2018 - Aug 2019 | Level 2 (catechesis for 6-9 year-olds) | Sacramento (Elverta) |
"In catechesis . . . it is Christ alone Who teaches.
Anyone else teaches to the extent that he is Christ's spokesman."
