Catechist Financial Assistance
In supporting Catechists in their formation, OLGH CGS fulfills our mission to provide steady access to formation of new catechists through the OLGH CGS Scholarship Fund. Lack of personal financial resources should not be a barrier to CGS formation, the OLGH CGS Scholarship fund seeks to ease the financial burden of those who desire to receive CGS Formation. In addition to the resources listed below, please consider asking your parish and school organizations for financial support. ​​
​
