Episode 60 – Pioneers of CGS with Betty Hissong

“I will take you from the nations and gather you from all the countries and bring you into your own land.” Ezekiel 36:24

Betty Hissong has been a Montessori teacher, having started the second Montessori school in the United States in the mid-1960s, a Montessori teacher-trainer, a Good Shepherd catechist, and a formation leader for more than 40 years. She is in Cleveland, Ohio. Now, at almost 95 years old she may be the oldest CGS catechist and formation leader. She shares some of her stories about her early years in the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd.

Spring Catechist Study Day

Gather with fellow catechists to explore the presentation of the Empty Tomb, the Resurrection Narratives, and the Pentecost Celebration.  We will also discuss some practical end of the year procedures.
