Formation & Evangelization Commission

​The Formation and Evangelization Commission offers guidance and support to efforts that energize and grow our membership, that create a welcoming environment, and that provide strong formation for all ages.  The Commission collaborates with parish staff and helps envision, develop and promote opportunities that foster spiritual growth and make disciples of all people.

If you would like to get involved, contact Rob Hoffmann, our Director of Adult Formation at (414) 453-3875 ext. 18 or [email protected].

Baptism Preparation

This ministry assists in preparing parents for the baptism of their child. Baptism preparation classes are held once a quarter.  

Child Ministry

This ministry reaches out to the children of our parish community to make disciples through the Sacramental life of the Church. This happens through regular formation opportunities, family events, and the implementation of Catechesis of the Good Shepherd - a Montessori-base religious formation that provides the environment, time, and space for the child to encounter God.

Ways to help:

Catechist and/or Assistant Team
  • Our sessions are run by trained catechists but we do not require training or experience to become an assistant; we will teach you all that you need to know. 
  • Volunteering as an assistant is a beautiful way to see CGS in action and to deepen your own relationship with God. 
  •  Time Commitment: 2-3 hours/week
 
Materials Team
  • Are you creative?  Do you enjoy working with your hands? Woodworking? Painting?  We are always wanting people to join our materials team who will make sure our materials are in top shape and functional.  Many materials simply need touching up due to frequent usage by the children. 
  • Time Commitment: 1-2 hours/month
 
Sacramental Prep Team
  • Join this team to help support the children and their families as they prepare to receive the sacraments of First Reconciliation and First Eucharist. 
  • Time Commitment: 1.5 hours (3x per year) for reflection sessions in the spring or 3 days in May for the sacrament retreat
