"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.

Our Vendor Organization Members are organizations, companies, or individuals who create and sell goods that support catechists in preparing Atrium materials for children.  They go through an approval process and are formally recognized as vendors our members can trust.

Materials offered for sale by Vendor Members must follow the guidelines for materials identified by the International Council (Consiglio) in the “Characteristics of the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd and must sell products that are safe under the regulations of the United States Consumer Products Safety Commission. Vendor Members of CGSUSA are an important part of our CGSUSA members’ ministry with children.  CGSUSA strives to build connections between our catechist members and our vendor members.

We are grateful to Catechist Husband, a Benefactor Vendor member, for all the help and support that have shared with us over the years.  

The Catechists Husband would like to remind you that it's not too late
