Master Catechist Testimonials
Listen to what three Good Shepherd parishioners who completed the Master Catechist Training in 2018 had to say.

“I am glad that I responded to the invitation to attend the Master Catechist Training Program. It opened my eyes to appreciate our faith more. I learned that there is still more to what we believe in … It was like learning the whole Catholic Faith in a nut shell … The class has helped me answer some of the questions thrown to me during RE Class. It made me confident in what I teach.”

"To me this program was very interesting, and was very beneficial to me and to all catechists who take the program because this program helps one to study the Bible and the catechism in tremendous detail, that ultimately helps me personally and as a catechist … My experience sharing my newfound knowledge with people around the Diocese is amazing. I have had many long discussions on different topics with many interesting and wonderful people.”

“I recently was awarded the Master Catechist Certification from the Catholic Diocese of Arlington and wanted to let you know how immensely it increased my knowledge of the Catholic Faith. For me personally it answered numerous questions I always had regarding the Bible, the Catechism, Mass and questions in general such as detailed discussions which dispelled misunderstandings I always had regarding the Crusades … I feel much more confident as a catechist to teach and answer questions than I ever did before. The course schedule was perfectly planned for working adults ... The course material always inspired you to study more, not less. I thoroughly enjoy sharing what we learned with other parishioners and others around the Diocese.”
